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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in West Chester allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned 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 enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
