Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Seymour, TX.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone 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 many programs in Seymour allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education 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 educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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