Understanding Cannabis Induced Psychosis

Cannabis induced psychosis is not a health condition in itself. Rather, it is a set of specific symptoms that are thought to be caused by marijuana, also known as cannabis, use. Although psychosis from marijuana use is not common, it can be serious. When a person is affected by cannabis induced psychosis, they may experience:

  • Paranoia
  • Lack of sleep
  • Delusions
  • Aggression
  • Hallucinations
  • Disorganised thinking
  • Wandering

A majority of people who experience cannabis induced psychosis will find that the symptoms are considerably rapid – almost instantaneous. Often they don’t realise the change, but others around them might notice something different. The symptoms may last a few days; with the average time being 10-15 days. Some people might be severely affected so much so that their everyday functioning is hindered.

For people who have experienced cannabis induced psychosis, usually, they are frequent users of marijuana and can benefit from going to a rehab for cannabis in Thailand. Some people might be sent by loved ones during the bout of psychosis and others might start rehab afterwards. Rehab for cannabis can help to reduce the use of the substance, possibly stop the psychosis, and prevent a recurrence. Many patients may also be diagnosed with an underlying mental health disorder and be guided towards an appropriate treatment plan and aftercare programme.

Rehab for Cannabis Induced Psychosis

When a person suffers from cannabis induced psychosis, they can benefit from going to a rehab in Thailand. This will provide them with a supportive environment, 24/7 care, and peace of mind in knowing they are safe. Rehab for cannabis addiction or use may begin with an individualised treatment programme that has been developed with the patients needs in mind. This plan will also include the necessary recovery tools needed after rehab. When a person is being treated for cannabis induced psychosis, they may have goals such as:

  • Reducing, and eliminating, delusions, hallucinations, and paranoia typically associated with psychosis.
  • Discontinuing marijuana use
  • Identifying whether or not an underlying mental health condition exists.
  • Developing a strong recovery plan and support system.
  • Regaining normal functioning.

As a cannabis rehab in Thailand, we know of many patients who have suffered from cannabis induced psychosis and also have an underlying mental health condition such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or anxiety disorder. It should be noted that there is ongoing research regarding cannabis induced psychosis. It is not fully understood whether the psychosis triggers a person who may already have an underlying condition, or whether it “mimics” mental health disorders. It is also suggested that cannabis induced psychosis may be more common in people who have certain gene markers.

Making sure you or a loved one receives treatment early on is critical. Not only can it help any current symptoms, but it might also prevent further symptoms of psychosis from happening. Furthermore, a cannabis rehab in Thailand can ensure the marijuana use is the primary cause of the psychosis. Some treatments that may be used to treatment cannabis induced psychosis include:

  • Residential Cannabis Rehab – To ensure you or a loved one receives integrated treatment that addresses the physio psychological needs, a rehab for cannabis induced psychosis is the best option. This programme may include detoxification, full psychological and physical assessment, a broad range of therapies, life skills sessions, aftercare planning, and medications if necessary.
  • Medications – Depending on the individual antipsychotic medications, as well as, antiepileptic or anti-seizure drugs may be administered to alleviate the symptoms related to the psychosis. In general, these medications are very effective and work quickly.
