While smoking tobacco is associated with substance abuse in many ways, some programs think that imposing total cessation during rehabilitation can lead to bigger issues than it is worth by enforcing a smoking ban. Enforcing a smoking ban can cause earlier than anticipated ending of treatment, or even an aversion to treatment. Some studies even show that allowing clients smoking privileges while in rehab, particularly in the early stages of recovery, is often a way for individuals to bond with their friends and the rehab staff they're working with.
Smoking permitted without restriction substance abuse treatment facilities in Lowell take into account that not everyone in recovery is a smoker, so there are some rules that are enforced and adhered to by individuals who want to keep smoking during treatment. Even most smokers do not want to be in an environment where there are no smoking rules in place and so these facilities have designated smoking areas so that people who has not chosen to quit can smoke freely and without judgment. These smoking allowed areas are mostly outside and there are very few programs which allow smoking indoors. Most drug and alcohol rehab programs also provide services for clients who want to attempt to quit smoking tobacco while in treatment.
