Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mc Call Creek, MS.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Mc Call Creek allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as 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. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that allow smoking commonly provide 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 that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients 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 educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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