What is cannabis rehabilitation?

Cannabis rehabilitation involves treatment that helps an individual overcome cannabis dependence. This is accessed most intensively via a residential cannabis rehabilitation centre. This will allow individuals the opportunity to detox and address the psychological dependence to cannabis. This treatment will remove people from an environment where cannabis is easily accessed, and replaces it with structure, support and understanding.

Individuals stand the best chance of a successful outcome if they choose to address their cannabis dependence in a residential cannabis rehabilitation centre. The intensive support available means that individuals have daily access to counselling support from specialist and qualified addictions counsellors. Therapies will focus on relapse prevention, the development of much more effective coping strategies and the underlying causes of the cannabis dependence. Alongside this, people will have access to holistic and relaxation therapies, and the majority of cannabis rehabilitation centres will aim to help people enjoy life again without cannabis via supervised activities.

When should someone seek cannabis rehabilitation help?

Cannabis rehabilitation is often necessary in chronic cannabis users. Although the withdrawal symptoms tend to be primarily psychological, they can still be very difficult to manage. The anxiety and agitation experienced when abstaining from cannabis can make the initial weeks extremely challenging. Individuals stand a much better chance of overcoming their dependence if this takes place within the confines of a structured and professional environment. Although no formal detox exists, cannabis rehabilitation centres will typically offer sedative medication to make the process as comfortable as possible.

If you suspect a loved one may be addicted to cannabis, there may be a number of indicators to look out for. For instance, you may notice their eyes are red and blurry. Their appetite may increase after inhaling or digesting cannabis, known as the “munchies”. Their behaviour may also change; individuals can become more withdrawn and anxious. Their social habits may also change as they orientate themselves around others who use cannabis. You may also find cannabis paraphernalia amongst their possessions, such as large cigarette rolling papers and grinders. If you have noticed any of these signs, call one of our experienced advisors now for free and confidential advice on how best to approach the situation.

Cannabis rehabilitation options

Triage Healthcare work with cannabis rehabilitation centres throughout the UK. We have an in-depth knowledge of the full range of treatment services and programme options, and will advise you independently of any particular centre.

It is also possible to access private overseas cannabis rehabilitation. This option can be particularly appealing to those individuals who have already accessed help in the UK with limited success. By travelling overseas to access treatment, the person is completely removed from their problematic surroundings. Overseas treatment can also represent better value for money in some cases.

It is also possible to access free NHS services. Whilst it would clearly be preferable to receive rehabilitation without having to pay for it, it is important to remember that there is an imbalance between availability of addiction treatment in the NHS and the demand in the community. Therefore, there can often be long waiting lists involved when trying to access the NHS options.

How long could Cannabis rehabilitation take?

Cannabis rehabilitation should ideally last a minimum of six weeks. This will allow time to address the initial cannabis withdrawal symptoms, and afterwards will allow individuals access to intensive psychological and therapeutic support. Nonetheless, rehabilitation cannabis may sometimes only last for two weeks. However, this will allow relatively little time to address the psychological dependence to cannabis.

Cannabis rehabilitation aftercare support

Rehabilitation cannabis within a treatment centre is the most intensive form of support. However, this means that upon returning home an individual needs to continue accessing support. One to one counselling, Narcotics Anonymous meetings and the local drug services should always be accessed following rehabilitation cannabis.

How much does private Cannabis rehabilitation cost?

Triage Healthcare recognises that there is a deficit in the provision of affordable private rehabilitation cannabis in the UK. High quality free advice and information is provided to all, as well as best-value private treatment to individuals with a limited budget. If you arrange treatment through Triage Healthcare you will never pay more and in some cases you will pay less for residential treatment than by booking direct with a treatment centre.
