Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Kendallville, IN.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients 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 this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Kendallville allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs which 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 one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit 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 drug and alcohol treatment centers 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 rehabilitation programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
