Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Pulaski, VA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Pulaski allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically offer 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 educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including 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 sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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