Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Washington Court House, OH.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone 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 Washington Court House allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside 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 addictive, even rehab programs that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce 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 programs that 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 programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility 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 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.
