Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Spring Valley, NY.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free 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 agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Spring Valley allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly introduce 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 educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehabilitation programs 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 treatment 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.
