Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Superior, WI.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban 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 must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Superior allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

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

Publicly funded drug rehabilitation 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 bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
