Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Hanamaulu, HI.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction 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 present 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 agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Hanamaulu allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers 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 rehab centers that allow 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation centers are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab 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.
