Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Tiffin, OH.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce 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 get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Tiffin allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers 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 are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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