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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Grapevine allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab 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 facilities that allow 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 offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction treatment programs 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 programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
