Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Bensalem, PA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Bensalem allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers 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 programs which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted 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 imposed 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 they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
