Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Prairie Du Sac, WI.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Prairie Du Sac allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that allow 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 education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation programs 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 treatment programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
