Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Tomball, TX.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people 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 this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Tomball allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehab centers 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 rehabilitation centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
