Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Spearfish, SD.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone 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 Spearfish allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly provide 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 that permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehab centers are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
