Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Farmington, PA.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact 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 such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Farmington allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking commonly offer 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 rehab centers which permit 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 examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehab programs are bound 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 restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
