Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Kipton, OH.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Kipton allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides 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 addictive, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically 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 programs that permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
