Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Pease, MN.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present 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 rehab centers in Pease allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that have a designated area and 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 that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education 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 consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehab centers 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 rehabilitation facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
