Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Fort Hall, ID.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab 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 such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Fort Hall 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 outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs that permit 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 education or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged 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 rehabilitation centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
