Cannabis Addiction Treatment | Cannabis Rehab and Cannabis Detox

Recovery Lighthouse is proud to offer a warm, welcoming environment that is free from judgement or shame. At our centre, you will be surrounded by others in rehab, as well as our supportive staff who are also in recovery themselves. This means that everyone around you is aware of the challenges you are facing because they are facing them too.

A former client, Ellen, shares her experiences, saying:

“There is no judgement. You are all in there for the same reasons and you are just one big family. Don’t think that you’re going to have to sit with strangers and spill all your secrets, because they will become your family.”

This level of understanding and support is vital for your recovery. It provides you with motivation, accountability and strength to move past your cravings for cannabis and heal. The bonds formed in cannabis rehab are often life-long, so this support continues even when you return home.

There are many misconceptions about cannabis addiction treatment that can prevent you from getting the help you need. It is important to understand the truth about cannabis addiction treatment so that you can make an informed decision on your recovery.

Myth: Cannabis rehab is only for people who have hit rock bottom.

Fact: Cannabis rehab is for anyone who feels like they can’t control their consumption of cannabis, whether you have just started to notice a problem, or whether you are a long-term cannabis user. You do not have to wait to hit rock bottom to seek help. In fact, the sooner you start cannabis addiction treatment, the easier your recovery will be.

Myth: You don’t need rehab for cannabis – you can quit on your own.

Fact: Just like any other substance, cannabis is very difficult to quit without professional guidance. Your cravings for cannabis may become almost unbearable, but in cannabis rehab, temptations are removed. With our support, you can learn valuable coping skills and quit cannabis for good.

Myth: You have to be using cannabis every day to attend rehab.

Fact: You do not have to be using cannabis every day in order to attend rehab. If cannabis is causing problems in your daily life, affecting your work, studies or relationships, then cannabis rehab can help you.

Myth: Cannabis rehab is too expensive and not worth the cost.

Fact: While cannabis rehab can be costly, when compared to the cost of maintaining a long-term drug habit, it is the more sensible option. Cannabis rehab is a worthwhile investment into your future, and the positives of this are far-reaching. Speak to our admissions team to find out how we can help make the cost of your cannabis rehab more manageable.

Completing cannabis rehab is a significant achievement and is something that you should feel proud to accomplish. However, your journey does not end when you walk out of our doors. In order to maintain your sobriety, you must have a relapse prevention plan in place.

Some steps you can take to avoid cannabis relapse include:

• Attend aftercare meetings, including weekly support groups and therapy
• Avoid places, people or situations that could trigger a relapse
• Surround yourself with supportive friends and family
• Stay motivated by setting daily or weekly goals
• Plan your days and stay busy
• Look after yourself by eating a healthy diet, exercising and getting enough sleep

Life after cannabis rehab requires ongoing dedication and effort to sustain your abstinence, but by following your relapse prevention plan, it is entirely achievable.
