Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Bradner, 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 strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Bradner allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs which allow 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 offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment facilities are obligated 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 little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
