Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Chanhassen, MN.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Chanhassen allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which 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 educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehab programs are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
