Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Urbana, IL.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Urbana allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that allow smoking commonly provide 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 facilities 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 offering educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment 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 centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
