Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Malad City, ID.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Malad City allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. 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 have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that allow 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 permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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