Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Munising, MI.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities 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 smoking ban 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 programs in Munising allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. 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 programs that allow smoking typically 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 facilities that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation 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 rehab programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
