Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Deltona, FL.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug and alcohol addiction 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 abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Deltona allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs which permit 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 one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab centers 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 little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
