Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Moclips, WA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Moclips 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 outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling 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 banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities 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 programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
