Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Garberville, CA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Garberville allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities 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 providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center 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 imposed 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 they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
