Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Macks Inn, ID.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Macks Inn allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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