While smoking tobacco is associated with substance abuse in many ways, some programs believe that imposing total cessation during rehabilitation can lead to much larger issues than it's worth by maintaining a ban on smoking. Maintaining a smoking ban can cause earlier than anticipated departure from treatment, or worse an aversion to treatment. Some research studies show that allowing clients to smoke while in treatment, especially in the early stages of recovery, is often a way for individuals to bond with their peers and the treatment professionals that they are working with.
Smoking allowed without restriction substance abuse rehab centers in Rockbridge take into consideration that not everyone in recovery is a smoker, so there are some rules that are enforced and followed by people who want to keep smoking while they are in treatment. Even most people who smoke don't want to be in a treatment center where smoking is allowed all the time, and so these centers have designated smoking areas so that clients who hasn't chosen to quit can smoke freely and without judgment. These designated smoking areas are mostly outdoors, and a few programs which allow smoking indoors. Most drug and alcohol rehab facilities also provide services for clients who want to attempt to quit smoking tobacco while in treatment.
