Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Fort Lupton, CO.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone 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 many programs in Fort Lupton allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that have a designated area and allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes 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 obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
