Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Jamaica, NY.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Jamaica allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that have a designated area and allow smoking usually 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 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 informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation facilities are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
