Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Morrow, GA.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Morrow allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, 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 integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked 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 imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment centers have a bit 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.
