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

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Luckey allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly introduce 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 rehab centers which permit 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction treatment programs 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 facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
