Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Walsenburg, CO.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor 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 must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Walsenburg allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment 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 rehab centers which allow 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 one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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