Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Duluth, MN.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction 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 present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Duluth allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because 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 programs which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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