At Ocean Recovery, we prioritize creating a supportive and healthy environment for all of our clients, which extends to our policies on smoking.

Is Smoking Allowed at Our Rehab Centre?

Yes, smoking is allowed but only in designated outdoor smoking areas. This policy is in place to ensure the comfort and well-being of all clients, staff, and visitors.

We understand that for many individuals, smoking may be a part of their daily routine, and we provide specific spaces where this activity can take place without disrupting others.

The use of electronic smoking devices such as e-cigarettes, vapes, and traditional tobacco products is strictly confined to these designated areas, ensuring that our indoor spaces remain smoke-free and conducive to recovery.

Consideration for Others

We kindly ask that clients be mindful of others when using the designated smoking areas. Recovery is a shared journey, and maintaining a respectful atmosphere is crucial. Please make sure that smoking takes place away from entrances, shared spaces, and any areas where non-smokers might be present.

Furthermore, we encourage you to properly dispose of cigarette ends by fully extinguishing them in the provided ashtrays, helping us keep the facility clean and safe for everyone.

Access to Smoking Products

For those who smoke, we offer a daily walk to local shops where clients have the opportunity to purchase cigarettes, vapes, or other related products. This not only allows you to maintain access to your preferred smoking materials but also offers a chance to enjoy some fresh air and gentle exercise, which is an important part of your recovery journey.

Support for Quitting Smoking

At Ocean Recovery, we are committed to supporting your overall health and well-being. If you’re thinking about quitting smoking or reducing your use of tobacco or nicotine products, we are here to help. Our team can provide advice, resources, and guidance on methods that may assist you in cutting down or quitting smoking entirely.

Many clients find that their time in rehabilitation is an excellent opportunity to make positive lifestyle changes, and we offer support to those who wish to take this step. Whether you want to explore nicotine replacement therapies or behavioural support, our team is ready to help you make the choices that are right for you.

We believe that quitting smoking can be a valuable part of your overall recovery, and we encourage you to take advantage of the resources we have available during your stay. Speak with any of our team members, and we will work with you to develop a personalised plan that fits your needs.
