Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Commerce, GA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Commerce allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking typically introduce 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 rehab centers that permit 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 education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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