Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Benton Harbor, MI.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Benton Harbor allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly introduce 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 rehab centers which permit 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 examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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