Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Garden Valley, CA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers 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 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Garden Valley allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs 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 typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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