Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Hendersonville, NC.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients 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. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Hendersonville allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that have a designated area and allow smoking usually 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 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 consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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