Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - San Andreas, CA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact 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 this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in San Andreas allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that have a designated area and allow smoking usually 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 that 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 one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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