Why Middle East Residents find Effective and Affordable Treatment for Marijuana/Hashish Addiction at The Cabin Chiang Mai

Why Middle East Residents find Effective and Affordable Treatment for Marijuana/Hashish Addiction at The Cabin Chiang Mai

Marijuana and Hashish are the most commonly used illicit drug. Marijuana is a dried mixture of the leaves, flowers, stems and seeds of the hemp plant Cannabis sativa while Hashish is a potent resin extract of the same plant. They are generally smoked or consumed as food. The main active ingredient in marijuana and hashish is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC enters directly into the bloodstream and goes straight to the brain, influencing brain cell receptors to create altered senses such as sight, sound or time. It also creates feelings of euphoria and increased relaxation.

There is much debate about its effects and changes in legislation are making it legal in more and more parts of the world. Due to the fact that it is not considered a highly addictive drug, many users fail to notice the warning signs until they have already developed a physical dependency. Marijuana addiction affects millions of people worldwide and has a negative impact on them psychologically, financially, socially and professionally.

Marijuana/Hashish addiction treatment at The Cabin Arabic Treatment Centre consists of 2 main elements:

Medical detoxification

Even though detoxification from marijuana does not require specific medication, when long-term marijuana users detox they may experience irritability, insomnia, decreased appetite, anxiety, headaches, depression and intense drug cravings. At The Cabin Arabic Treatment Centre, clients will be monitored at all hours by a medical team supervised by Thailand’s number one detox specialist who directly oversees their treatment. Our team of highly trained nurses and doctors will administer Thai herbal medicine to cleanse the THC from your body and prescribe any medication necessary to help relieve withdrawal symptoms.

Psychological treatment

It is important in marijuana addiction treatment to detect and treat any underlying issues that may have contributed to the addiction. At the Cabin Arabic Treatment Centre, our specialised addiction counsellors will work in collaboration with psychologists using our Recovery Zones programme. Recovery Zones is a unique treatment model that varies for each client, pulling from a variety of proven treatment models including a secular version of the 12 Steps, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness. These treatments help our clients to understand and identify their own relapse triggers, develop alternative means to cope with stress and anxiety and sustain a sober lifestyle. The programme also provides relapse prevention, sober time management and aftercare planning.

We combine this psychological treatment with a holistic health and wellness programme that includes yoga, meditation, fitness and massage therapy.
