Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Park Forest, 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 any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility 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 get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Park Forest allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that allow smoking usually provide 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 permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment programs 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 leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
