Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Whiteville, NC.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities 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 strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility 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 programs in Whiteville allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly offer 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 which allow 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 informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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