Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - St. Johns, AZ.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present 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 agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in St. Johns allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking commonly provide 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 permit 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 providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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