Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - New Britain, CT.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present 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 get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in New Britain allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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