Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Cambridge, MD.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Cambridge allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because 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 which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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