Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Nashua, NH.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities 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 free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. 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 Nashua allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that permit 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 providing educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction treatment centers are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation programs have a bit 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.
