Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Chillicothe, OH.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment 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 free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Chillicothe allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically provide 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehab facilities 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 treatment facilities 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.
