Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Prospect, CT.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers 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 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Prospect allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that allow smoking typically 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 which 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 one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned 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 treatment facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
