  Note:  Patients should bring enough tobacco products, including nicotine replacement therapy products, for their stay. Tobacco runs do happen from time to time. For replenishing tobacco (unopened vapes, cigarettes, chew, or Zyn style pouches) and toiletry products, family members can mail, or deliver additional toiletries and tobacco products to patients, however packages will be subject to a search. The tobacco must be unopened and in its original packaging. Patients may also order basic supplies from online retailers to be delivered.
  
  
• Only manufacturer-produced vapes are allowed. They must be prepackaged and unopened before being allowed on campus. Only standard nicotine styles are allowed and vape juice is strictly prohibited. Matches are not allowed anywhere on campus.

Patients who wish to smoke tobacco cigarettes, chew tobacco or vape may do so outside in designated smoking areas only. Withdrawal Management patients can visit a designated smoking area, escorted or on their own based on the level of their treatment. Once you have transferred to Residential Treatment, smoking is allowed only in designated areas outside when you are not in programming.

There may be instances where other items could be considered weapons, and their appropriateness to Serenity Lane's environment will be reviewed and ruled on by management.
