While smoking tobacco is associated with substance abuse in many ways, some facilities believe that enforcing total cessation during rehabilitation can cause bigger issues than it's worth by maintaining a ban on smoking. Implementing a smoking ban can cause earlier than anticipated departure from treatment, or worse a hesitancy to even start rehab. Some studies show that allowing individuals to smoke while in rehab, especially in the early stages of recovery, is often a way for clients to bond with their peers and the treatment professionals that they are working with.
Smoking allowed without restriction substance abuse rehab programs in Rex take into consideration that some people in recovery are non-smokers so there are some restrictions and guidelines that are implemented and followed by individuals who smoke while in treatment. Even most smokers don't want to be in an environment where there are no smoking rules in place and so most centers usually have designated smoking areas so that anyone who has not chosen to quit smoking can smoke freely and without judgment. These smoking allowed areas are mostly outside and there are very few programs which allow smoking indoors. Most substance abuse rehab centers also provide services for clients who would like to try to quit smoking while in rehab.
