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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism 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 non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Nisswa allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehabilitation programs 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 centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
