Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Great Falls, MT.

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 addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility 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 have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Great Falls allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically offer 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 facilities that 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 educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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