Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Wyoming, MN.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility 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 must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Wyoming allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab 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 facilities that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction 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 programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
