Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Rustburg, VA.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Rustburg allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly 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 rehab centers 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse treatment facilities are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed 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 rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
