Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Martinez, CA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Martinez allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as 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. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that 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 which 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 education or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation 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 rehabilitation centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
