Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lyons, NJ.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs 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 endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Lyons allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking commonly provide 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 educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities 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 tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
