Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Sanford, FL.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person 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 many rehab centers in Sanford allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation programs 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 rehabilitation programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
