Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Brookfield, WI.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Brookfield allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that 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 one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab programs 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 treatment centers 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.
