Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Clyde Park, MT.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Clyde Park allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, 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 patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction treatment facilities 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 programs have a little 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.
