Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bellefontaine, OH.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance 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 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 therefore, many facilities in Bellefontaine allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs 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 bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
