Cannabis Rehab

The effects of cannabis consumption

Cannabis is one of the most used illegal drugs across the UK, leading to many mental health issues. Although favoured for its ability to cloud reality and promote relaxation, cannabis is a hallucinogenic driven drug, attacking an individual’s central nervous system. Unlike other drugs, consuming cannabis, or commonly known as weed or marijuana, mainly influences a psychological addiction, with the potential of leading to many long-term mental health conditions.

Short term side effects of cannabis consumption include

• •Nausea
• •Anxiety
• •High blood pressure
• •Memory loss.

Although cannabis is less addictive when comparing to other harmful drugs, long-term use can lead to fixations, influencing common withdrawal symptoms.

Symptoms can include

• •Seizures
• •Depression
• •Schizophrenia
• •Malnourishment.

After long-term use, an individual can expect to experience significant psychological effects. Cannabis is known to impact cognitive functionality, along with influencing chronic mental health issues and further addictions. Consistent use of cannabis will increase the risk of developing an addiction and further abuse of substances, along with life-threatening conditions, reducing quality of life significantly.

We have a wide range of reputable rehab centres, which specialise in drug addiction and mental health recovery.

When is  Cannabis rehab required and why?

If you are experiencing any form of negativity from using cannabis, rehab support should be required. Without reducing damage now, long-term dangers will continue to impact a user’s life, significantly reducing quality and capability.

For the greatest recovery probability, visiting a residential rehab programme should be priority. This option is promoted to ensure around the clock, specialised care is provided, along with evidence-based addiction treatments. We further promote residential rehab programmes to ensure enough distance is in place between our clients and their daily stimuli. This promotes a smoother transition when considering long-term recovery.

Cannabis addiction can be overcome with the right support. However, without seeking medically supervised treatment, addictions can escalate, commonly influencing greater mental health issues and substance abuse; both carrying detrimental effects.

Addiction treatment experienced at rehab

While visiting either of our partnering rehab centres, you will complete a number of addiction treatments and behavioural therapies. Some of our industry leading treatments include cognitive behavioural therapy, group therapy, individual counselling sessions and detoxes.

For those with a chronic cannabis addiction, a Cannabis detox programme will be a necessity when considering rehab. This will help to kickstart recovery while increasing susceptibility to further treatment options. For those with connected mental health issues, greater therapy sessions will be required to understand the underlying issues with cannabis. Depending on your progression and experience, treatment options will vary, ensuring you are receiving the care you deserve.

Throughout addiction treatments you will also receive around the clock, specialised support. Our teams will create a home from home, comforting environment while you recover. We will take your needs into consideration to ensure you have the tools required to work on yourself.
