Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Hoffman Estates, IL.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. 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 therefore, many programs in Hoffman Estates allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs that 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse 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 rehab 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.
