Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Kearny, AZ.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Kearny allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

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

Publicly funded substance abuse treatment facilities are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
