Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Salem, OH.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone 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 Salem allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking commonly 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 rehab centers 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 education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction treatment 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 rehabilitation programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
