Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Atchison, KS.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. 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 therefore, many rehab centers in Atchison allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and 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 facilities that 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 providing informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab centers are bound 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 programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
