Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Warner Robins, GA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting 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 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 Warner Robins allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide 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 rehab centers that permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehabilitation facilities are bound 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 facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
