Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Bartow, FL.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Bartow allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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