Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Lake Villa, IL.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true 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 smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Lake Villa allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that have a designated area and allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction treatment 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 rehab centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
