Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Homestead, FL.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting 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 smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Homestead allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

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

Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment centers are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
