Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Owatonna, MN.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Owatonna allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly provide 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 programs 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 consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically 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 drug 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 rehabilitation programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
