While smoking tobacco is associated with substance abuse in many ways, some programs think that enforcing total cessation during rehab can cause much larger issues than it is worth by enforcing a ban on smoking. Enforcing a ban on smoking can cause premature ending of treatment, or worse an aversion to rehab. Some research studies show that allowing clients to smoke while in treatment, particularly in the early stages of recovery, is often a way for clients to bond with their peers and the rehab staff that they are there with.
Smoking permitted without restriction substance abuse rehab programs in Burlington take into account that not everyone in recovery is a smoker, so there are some restrictions and guidelines that are implemented and followed by people who smoke while in treatment. Even most smokers don't want to be in a place where there are no smoking rules in place and so most programs usually have designated smoking areas so that clients who has not decided to quit can smoke freely . These specific smoking areas are almost always outdoors, and a few programs which allow smoking indoors. Most substance abuse rehabilitation centers also provide services for clients who would like to try to quit smoking while in rehab.
