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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Elyria allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which allow 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 educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation facilities 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 rehabilitation centers have a little 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.
