Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hartford, CT.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Hartford allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit 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 facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, 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 integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug treatment centers 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 rehabilitation facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
