Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Hialeah, FL.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Hialeah allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking usually provide 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 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 consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes 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 treatment programs are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
