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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people 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 advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Middlebranch allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that allow smoking commonly offer 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 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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