Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Waverly, VA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Waverly allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers 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 replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients 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 permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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