Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Branchland, WV.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs 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 abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Branchland allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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