Overview
When someone is going through alcohol or drug rehab, it’s natural for them to want to distance themselves from all addictive substances, including nicotine and tobacco. In addition to being harmful and unpleasant to smell or breathe in, cigarettes may trigger cravings and other addictive behaviors that can lead to a decline in health and quality of life. Non-smoking rehab centers are becoming increasingly common because patients who come to treatment want to breathe clean air and not be around any type of Substance Use Disorder, including smoking. Use our directory to help you find the best non-smoking rehab for you.
Dangers of Smoking in Rehab
Smoking in rehab poses a tremendous health risk and inconvenience to you and everyone else in your treatment program. Second-hand smoke can cause just as much disease as direct smoking, and many of your peers don’t want the smell of smoke in their clothes, in their hair or on their skin. Additionally, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that adults with mental health or Substance Use Disorders (i.e., behavioral health conditions) smoke cigarettes more than adults without these disorders. You may also want to find a rehab that doesn’t allow smoking even if you, yourself, are a smoker so you’re not tempted or enabled during your care.
