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

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true 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 such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Niederwald allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which 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 one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked 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 enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment facilities have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
