Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Miesville, MN.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Miesville allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking usually provide 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 programs 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 allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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