Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Nebraska City, NE.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Nebraska City allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which 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 offering informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction 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 rehab centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
