Cannabis Addiction Treatment: Cannabis Detox, Cannabis Rehab and Aftercare
at Providence Projects
It is easy to tell yourself that cannabis isn’t a “hard drug”, but cannabis addiction can have a serious negative effect on daily life and mental health. At the Providence Projects, cannabis addiction treatment can help you adjust physically to life without weed and work on the reasons you have come to depend on it. You will then prepare for real-life situations post-rehab so you’re not thrown back into old patterns the moment you walk out the door.
The need for cannabis addiction treatment
Many people downplay cannabis because it is so widespread and because some countries have even legalised it. But if you are smoking every day just to feel okay, needing it to sleep, or it’s affecting your memory, motivation, relationships or mental health, it may be time for professional treatment.
At first, you may try to quit cannabis on your own but drug addiction can be very deep-rooted. Many people use cannabis to numb anxiety, block out difficult thoughts or escape the weight of stress and depression and professional cannabis addiction treatment helps you understand all this.
Without this deeper understanding, the chances of relapse are high, as the problems can emerge once you leave the sanctuary of cannabis rehab. Recovery is a process that lasts long after the few weeks or months you stay in rehab treatment, but these early weeks set the foundations for everything that comes after.
Stage 1: Cannabis detox
Detoxing from cannabis might not sound as serious as detoxing from alcohol or heroin, but if you’ve been smoking or using cannabis every day, quitting can bring on real withdrawal challenges.
When you arrive at Providence, you will meet with our friendly medical team who will take time to understand your cannabis use, mental health history and how you’re feeling. Based on this, they will create a personalised cannabis detox treatment plan that will keep you safe and stable during this early stage of recovery.
Our team knows the cannabis detox process inside and out, and they will monitor you 24/7 throughout. When you’re ready, you may even begin light therapy sessions to help you prepare for the next stage.
Cannabis withdrawal symptoms
Coming off weed can bring a range of cannabis withdrawal symptoms. While everyone’s experience is a little different, the most common symptoms include:
- Mood swings
- Insomnia, disrupted sleep and vivid dreams or nightmares
- Anxiety
- Loss of appetite (a kind of reversal to “the munchies”)
- Headaches, nausea, stomach cramps, sweating and chills
- Strong cannabis cravings
Cannabis detox timeline
Most people feel cannabis withdrawal symptoms kick in between 24 and 72 hours after stopping. At first, it may feel like minor restlessness, irritation, anxiety or a sense of something just being a little “off.” Days three to six are often the most difficult when cannabis cravings can become strong and the mental and emotional symptoms can become very hard to manage alone.
From week two onward, things usually begin to shift in a more positive direction. However, psychological withdrawal symptoms, especially anxiety or depressive symptoms, may take a little longer to settle, so continued support is crucial.

Stage 2: Cannabis rehab
Cannabis rehab is where you get to reflect and start building a life that doesn’t revolve around weed. It is where you begin to unpack the reasons you’ve kept going back to cannabis, even when you know it is harming you. The goals of cannabis rehab include:
- Understanding how cannabis use has impacted your relationships and daily life
- Rebuilding your confidence, motivation and direction
- Developing new ways of managing boredom, anxiety or sadness without cannabis
- Working through personal challenges and mental health concerns
- Reconnecting with yourself and others without relying on cannabis
Therapies used in cannabis rehab
Cannabis therapy looks at both your cannabis use and everything going on in your life. Some of the key therapies that make up the our drug rehab process include:
The 12-step programme
We offer workshops and therapy sessions themed around 12-step principles, support finding a sponsor and local support groups and a plan to continue steps that haven’t been completed in rehab.
Group therapy
It’s easy to feel alone when you’re stuck in a cycle of cannabis use, especially if people around you don’t take it seriously. In group therapy, you can share your experiences, be heard without judgement and gain insight from others.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you understand the thoughts, beliefs and situations that lead you to use cannabis. CBT teaches you to spot those triggers early so you can take control of your actions.
Trauma-informed therapy
Many people who struggle with cannabis use have underlying emotional pain they haven’t fully processed. Trauma therapy helps you explore past experiences at your own pace, take back control of your thoughts and start to feel safe in your own body and mind again.
Family therapy
If your cannabis use has affected the people around you, we can help everyone begin to heal. Family therapy gives you and your loved ones a chance to talk openly about the impact of addiction, rebuild trust and set healthy boundaries and expectations moving forward.

Stage 3: Aftercare for cannabis relapse prevention
Even after a successful detox and rehab programme, it is completely normal to feel uncertain about what comes next. Drug addiction often leaves people stuck in all-or-nothing cycles and without a plan, it’s easy to fall back into old habits. Our cannabis relapse prevention planning will allow you to leave treatment with a clear head and roadmap. Your plan will consider:
- The people, patterns or situations that could lead to relapse
- How to cope with stress or cravings without using cannabis
- What to do if you feel tempted or overwhelmed
- How to keep yourself grounded and busy
Once you leave, you will be invited to join the UKAT alumni network which hosts regular events and provides invaluable cannabis recovery resources.

Michael Drake
I’ve been a client at Providence for over six months, experiencing a full spectrum of emotions, but the prevailing feeling has been a profound sense of connection and belonging. The atmosphere is one of love, unity, and genuine friendship. Regardless of which counselor you’re assigned to, all the staff are approachable and offer invaluable advice. Their unwavering knowledge and caring nature have genuinely saved my life. The entire Providence team, including clerical and support staff, has given me the strength and enthusiasm to apply what I’ve learned. As I leave, I’ll carry Providence in my heart and prayers forever. Thank you.
Kelly Cooper
Providence has saved my life. When I arrived, I was physically, mentally, and emotionally drained; without this rehab, I’d be dead. They helped me rebuild my confidence and discover my true self. The counselors, especially Dougie, were incredibly understanding and crucial to my progress. After 12 weeks and now in aftercare, I finally know what I want for the first time in 24 years and am confident I’ll achieve my dreams. I highly recommend Providence to anyone seeking to overcome addiction. Even in aftercare, I miss Provi already and am deeply grateful. Thank you.
Sarah Carter
I can’t thank The Providence Project and its amazing team enough. What was supposed to be a four-week stay turned into six months because it was life-changing. As a single mother, leaving my daughter was hard, but it was worth it. The program helped me overcome my addiction to sleeping tablets and taught me valuable life skills, making me a better mother and person. This place gave me my life back and my daughter “a better mummy.” To any mother worried about treatment due to separation, it’s worth it—the benefits are priceless. Going to The Providence Project was the best decision I’ve made, and I’m forever grateful. Sarah x

The Providence Projects is a special place that saved my life when I had nothing left to give. The counselors are amazing, genuinely caring, and encourage you to be yourself in a supportive environment. They provide a deep understanding of addiction and the tools to prevent relapses. Since leaving The Prov, I am proud to live my life as a recovering addict. I will recommend The Providence Projects to anyone in need, as the possibilities it offers are endless.
Daniel Jordan
I arrived at the Provy lost and broken after years of addiction and failed treatments, but something felt different here. From reception to support staff, everyone made me feel loved until I could love myself. For the first time, I received the help, knowledge, and tools I needed for lasting recovery. The unique approach, the supportive groups, and the house where I lived were crucial to my healing. Near death at the end of my addiction, I owe my life to Providence and my counselor, Clinton. Nearly two years clean and sober, I’m proud to be part of the Provy family, where the door is always open and the support is unwavering.
Richard Shottin
Providence has changed my life completely. From living a life with no hope, this place has taught my how to live again. The group therapy and 1-1 counselling really helped me to discover who I am and what I want from life, free from drugs and alcohol. The staff are excellent and I know I wouldn’t be where I am now without them. I’d recommend Providence to anyone who needs help. Give it a go and you won’t regret it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does cannabis rehab cost?
The cost of cannabis rehab UK options depends on the type of support you’re looking for. Cannabis rehab NHS services options are free, but are often limited to outpatient cannabis rehab at home with potentially long waiting times. The cost of private cannabis rehab at Providence Projects depends on how long you stay with us, so get in touch with us and we can walk you through the options and payment plans.
Can family members be involved in my cannabis rehab?
Yes, and in many cases, it can make a huge difference. Cannabis addiction can quietly affect family life in all sorts of ways, from tension and mistrust to distance and miscommunication. Providence Projects offers family therapy as part of your treatment to rebuild relationships and find a healthier way forward together.
Is it safe to undergo cannabis detox at home?
For some people, cannabis detox at home might be manageable, especially if you have only been using a little bit now and again. However, if you have been using cannabis heavily for a long time, withdrawal symptoms can include extreme anxiety, depression and paranoia and these can be tough to handle and could even put you in danger.
