Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Monroe, NY.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Monroe allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs that 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 consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab centers are bound 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 centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
