Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Elizabethport, NJ.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present 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 agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Elizabethport allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education 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 consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation centers are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed 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.
