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

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present 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 have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Montrose allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit 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 education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehabilitation programs 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 facilities have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
