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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment centers 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 strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present 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 go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Monticello allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers 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 patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients 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 facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment programs 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 rehabilitation programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
