Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Winchester, TN.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. 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 many rehab centers in Winchester allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers 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 programs that allow 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 permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation facilities 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 centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
