Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Bleiblerville, TX.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce 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 go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Bleiblerville allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that allow smoking commonly offer 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 rehab centers that permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehabilitation facilities 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 treatment facilities have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
