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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Satellite Beach allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, 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 education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug 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 treatment programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
