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

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs 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 non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person 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 therefore, many facilities in Perham allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking typically introduce 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 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation facilities 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 treatment facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
