Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Lava Hot Springs, ID.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction 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 present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Lava Hot Springs allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides 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 an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehab 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 centers have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
