Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Kapaa, HI.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Kapaa allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly 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 facilities which 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 one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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