Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Oceanside, CA.

It is estimated that approximately 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 rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Oceanside allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that have a designated area and allow smoking typically 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 which allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehab facilities are obligated 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 little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
