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

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Moores Hill allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some facilities 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 an addictive substance, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce 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 educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab programs 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 treatment 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.
