Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Quinby, VA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Quinby allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs 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 facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce 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 programs 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 offering educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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