Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Crouch, ID.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting 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 advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Crouch allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers 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 that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
