For years Cannabis has been seen as a drug that is illegal and yet consumed by a major population, especially in foreign lands like in the UK, whereas per the statistical graph, last year, around 2.4 million aged between 16-59 were cannabis consumers. There have been movements taking place in honor of the uses of Cannabis to legalize its consumption, and it is already taken as an alternative to alcohol so that they stay high on it and get to feel more fun, enjoyment, and another sort of relaxation. Not just this, the cannabis consumers even have this popular belief that Cannabis is safe and it causes absolutely no harm to any consumer; all it does is relax brain cells and uplift someone from their disturbed, tough phase of life or psychological state. And so, anyone suppressing the usage of Cannabis or anyone standing against the legalization of Cannabis is said to be unjust and unfair. Although, the fact that Cannabis is “harmless” is wrong because it has got its own, in fact, many side effects which play a toll on the consumers without them getting any idea of it, and by the time they realize that Cannabis is harmful, it gets way too late for them to pull themselves out of the trap, and then they become a prey to serious issues like depression, isolated, and feeling pathetic all the time.
Thankfully, there are some Cannabis Addiction Treatments too that can help pull people out of the cannabis usage abuse and make them lead a better life without having any more consumption of it.
Here, let’s briefly discuss the medication for cannabis addiction treatment for leading a happy, healthy, better, and drug-free life.
Medication.
Unfortunately, even after the passage of a long time, there’s no such proven treatment or medicine found by the medical field researchers for the cure of cannabis addiction treatment. However, people often go with therapy which plays a significant role in the healing, and therefore, it is infused as an important factor of rehab. However, some suggested treatments are prescribed to cure some related psychological problems that occur either because of the arising intake of Cannabis or because of the reduction in the intake. Certain mental health issues like those who are prey to depression are prescribed antidepressants; meanwhile, people suffering from sleep disorders are given certain benzodiazepines for their treatment. There are times when one has to deal with the severe symptoms too, and some often face psychosis because of the heavy impact of Cannabis, and that’s when they’re prescribed to take anti-psychotics.
Advantages of medication are:
- It can make the brain cells really at ease by distressing the patient, giving them immense relief.
- The medication prescribed is more effective and helpful if it’s taken following the doctor’s suggested dosage; this helps as a better way of cure than self-medication.
Disadvantages of medication are:
- Often, it happens in cases where the drugs prescribed for the patient’s treatment end up becoming a drug and a habit that the patient cannot leave easily.
- The medicines can even have a certain impact on the patient’s body because of their high dosage or chemical composition, making them feel extremely unpleasant and uncomfortable and can often lead to catastrophic consequences.
