Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - El Paso, TX.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism 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 introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in El Paso allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged 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 facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
