Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Newaygo, MI.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Newaygo allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, 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 one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked 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 imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
