Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Luverne, MN.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting 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 non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Luverne allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

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 can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking typically introduce 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 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 education or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment centers 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 rehab programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
