Does ORC Allow Smoking During Treatment?

You can smoke cigarettes or vape in our designated outdoor smoking areas during frequent daily breaks.

The state of Ohio has made it illegal to smoke inside public places and places of work, but ORC does offer outdoor areas where you can smoke or vape.

You can access these areas during frequently scheduled breaks throughout the day. 

If you are interested in quitting smoking during your stay at ORC, please be sure to mention this to your primary clinician and care team.

Sealed Packs Of Cigarettes Or Vapes

Please bring any cigarettes or vapes that you plan on using while at Ohio Recovery Center with you in their original, sealed packages.
