Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Cartersville, GA.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Cartersville allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow 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 substance abuse rehabilitation facilities 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 rehab centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
