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

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Grand Rapids allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which permit 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 one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation 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 treatment centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
