Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - North Haven, CT.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact 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 non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in North Haven allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities 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 education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab 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 rehab centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
