Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Denver City, TX.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Denver City allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities 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 asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction treatment programs are obligated 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 facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
