Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Morgan Mill, TX.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting 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 non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone 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 therefore, many facilities in Morgan Mill allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities 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 informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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