Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Corpus Christi, TX.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Corpus Christi allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking usually introduce 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 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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