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

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact 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. 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 facilities in Willmar allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehab centers are obligated 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 little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
