Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Prince Frederick, MD.

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

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. 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 treatment programs 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 programs that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation 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 rehab programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
