Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Lynn, MA.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab 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. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Lynn allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking typically 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 educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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