Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Somerset, PA.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Somerset allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education 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 consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehab centers are bound 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 programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
