Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - North Stratford, NH.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in North Stratford allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse 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 rehab centers have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
