Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Kipling, OH.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present 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 have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Kipling allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically 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 addiction treatment 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 treatment centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
