Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Kenton, OH.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true 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 smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Kenton allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 providing educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehab centers 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 bit 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.
