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

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Greenleaf allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehab 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 programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
