Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Ironton, OH.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment centers 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 advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Ironton allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that allow smoking usually offer 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 facilities that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug treatment 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 treatment centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
