Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Platteville, WI.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Platteville allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction treatment facilities are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
