Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Alliance, OH.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact 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 benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Alliance allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking usually offer 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 programs which 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 offering informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehab centers 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 rehab programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
