Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Folkston, GA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation 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 endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce 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 go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Folkston allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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