Does Cannabis Dependence Happen Slowly or All at Once?
Cannabis addiction can develop in different ways, and it doesn’t look the same for everyone. For some, it happens slowly—what begins as occasional marijuana use to relax, cope with stress, or fit in socially may gradually become part of everyday life. Over time, tolerance builds, cravings increase, and it can feel difficult to function without it.
For others, the shift can feel much faster. Easy access, social pressure, or using cannabis to numb emotional pain can quickly turn casual use into dependence. What once felt like a choice can begin to feel like a necessity.
At Malvern Private Drug & Detox Hospital in Melbourne, we understand that every journey with cannabis addiction is unique. That’s why our hospital-based weed rehab programs focus on trauma-informed care, helping uncover the underlying reasons behind use and providing the right support for lasting recovery.

You Can Break Free from Misconceptions & Social Pressure
When you come into treatment for Cannabis Addiction, it isn’t just about stopping the drug. It’s about building new habits that make recovery possible. You’ll learn how to take care of your body again with regular routines, better sleep, and healthy coping strategies. You’ll pick up tools to manage stress without relying on Cannabis things like mindfulness, exercise, or talking through challenges instead of bottling them up.
You’ll also learn how to rebuild confidence, repair relationships, and make choices that support long-term wellbeing. It’s about creating a life that feels good enough that you don’t need Cannabis to get through it.
Recent data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare shows that Cannabis use and related harm are rising concerns in Australia. Because Cannabis is often normalised in social circles, it can be difficult to recognise when use has become harmful. The reality is that the impact on health, relationships, and mental wellbeing can be serious. Early support makes all the difference, helping you break the cycle and build a healthier future.
Don’t wait to break free.

Cannabis addiction is treatable, and it’s never too late to ask for help. We know how easy it can be for occasional use to quietly turn into something that feels harder to control. When that happens, it doesn’t just affect your health—it can touch every part of your life, including your relationships, your work, and your sense of self.
At Malvern Private, we’ve already supported thousands of people through this same journey. Many arrived feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure if they could really change. With the right care, guidance, and ongoing support, they found stability again… and so can you.
Left untreated, cannabis dependence can put strain on both mental and physical health, increase stress and anxiety, and create tension in daily life. But seeking help early makes a real difference. It reduces these risks, gives you tools to cope in healthier ways, and sets the foundation for lasting recovery.
You don’t have to wait until things spiral out of control. We have specialists who can help.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Marijuana Addiction & Recovery
What is Marijuana Withdrawal?
Marijuana withdrawal is the set of physical and emotional symptoms that can occur when someone who has been using cannabis regularly reduces or stops. While it’s not usually life-threatening, withdrawal can be very uncomfortable and is one of the reasons people find it hard to quit without support.
Common marijuana withdrawal symptoms include:
-
Irritability, mood swings, or anxiety
-
Trouble sleeping or vivid dreams
-
Fatigue and low motivation
-
Changes in appetite
-
Headaches, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating
-
Cravings for cannabis
Symptoms can begin within 24 hours of the last use, often peak within the first week, and may last for one to two weeks. Psychological effects such as cravings or low mood can continue for longer.
Our marijuana withdrawal program provides 24/7 clinical oversight, therapeutic care, and holistic support. This ensures withdrawal is managed safely, with less discomfort, and gives you the best foundation for long-term recovery.
Does Malvern Private Drug & Detox Hospital work with private health funds?
Yes, we are a health fund endorsed facility and have contracts with all major private health funds in Australia. As a private hospital, your out-of-pocket costs will depend on your specific level of cover. Our staff will provide a clear and transparent estimate of all fees, including any excess or gap costs, prior to your admission. We strongly recommend contacting your health fund directly to confirm your coverage details.
To give you an idea of the breadth of our comprehensive coverage, we have agreements with all of Australia’s most popular providers, including but not limited to:

- AHM

- And more
If you don’t see your health fund listed here, don’t worry. This is not an exhaustive list. Please contact our admissions team to verify your eligibility and understand your financial options.
What are the signs of Marijuana dependence?
Marijuana dependence happens when the body and mind adapt to regular use, making it difficult to function without the drug. The signs can look different for everyone, but common indicators include:
-
Using more Marijuana than you planned, or using more often than intended
-
Craving Marijuana or feeling preoccupied with the next use
-
Struggling to cut down or stop, even when you want to
-
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, or anxiety when you don’t use
-
Building tolerance and needing larger amounts to feel the same effect
-
Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home
-
Withdrawing from friends, family, or social activities
-
Continuing to use despite health issues, financial stress, or relationship problems
-
Spending more time and money obtaining and using Marijuana
Recognising these signs is the first step. At Our Drug & Detox Hospital, our hospital-based Marijuana rehab programs provide safe withdrawal management, therapeutic support, and a structured pathway toward long-term recovery.
How does your Marijuana addiction program work?
Our marijuana addiction treatment program is designed to give you more than just a detox. It provides a safe, supportive hospital environment where you can begin withdrawal with medical care and continue building the skills you need for lasting recovery.
Here’s what to expect:
Pre-admission assessment
Before admission, we take the time to listen to your story and understand your needs. In this face-to-face assessment, we explain the program in detail, confirm it’s the right fit, and walk you through private health insurance so you know what to expect with costs.
Inpatient marijuana withdrawal (detox)
You’ll stay in our boutique hospital setting, where withdrawal is monitored 24/7 by doctors, psychiatrists, nurses, and counsellors. Medications are only used when needed to keep you safe and comfortable.
Therapeutic support
Recovery is about more than detox. Our program includes individual counselling, group therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to address the emotional and psychological side of cannabis dependence.
Holistic healing
You’ll also take part in complementary therapies such as yoga, art therapy, and mindfulness practices—helping you reconnect with yourself and learn healthier coping strategies.
Family and peer support
Where appropriate, families are invited to be part of the journey. You’ll also have access to peer groups such as NA and in-house support meetings, so you know you’re not alone.
Planning for the future
Before leaving, we work with you on relapse prevention and a tailored aftercare plan. This may include day programs, outpatient care, or community-based supports to help keep recovery strong.
At Malvern Private, we don’t just help you stop using marijuana, we help you rebuild confidence, resilience, and a healthier life.
How long does Marijuana detox take?
The length of marijuana detox can vary depending on how often and how heavily someone has been using cannabis. Withdrawal symptoms usually begin within 24 hours of the last use, peak in the first 3 to 7 days, and may last up to two weeks.
Some people also experience lingering effects such as cravings, low mood, or sleep problems for several weeks after stopping. This is why professional support makes such a difference.
At Malvern Private Drug & Detox Hospital in Melbourne, marijuana detox is usually part of a structured 28-day residential program. This approach not only manages withdrawal safely with 24/7 medical care but also provides therapy, holistic activities, and relapse prevention planning to support long-term recovery.
What are the withdrawal symptoms of Marijuana?
When someone who regularly uses cannabis reduces or stops, the body and mind adjust to its absence. This process known as marijuana withdrawal is not usually dangerous, but it can feel very uncomfortable and often makes it difficult to quit without support.
Common marijuana withdrawal symptoms include:
-
Irritability, mood swings, or anxiety
-
Difficulty sleeping, vivid dreams, or insomnia
-
Low energy, fatigue, or lack of motivation
-
Restlessness or trouble concentrating
-
Changes in appetite, sometimes with weight loss
-
Headaches or physical discomfort
-
Strong cravings for marijuana
Symptoms usually begin within 24 hours of the last use, peak in the first 3–7 days, and can last up to two weeks. Some emotional effects, such as cravings or low mood, may linger longer.
Our cannibis withdrawal program provides 24/7 medical oversight, therapeutic care, and holistic support. This ensures withdrawal is managed safely and comfortably, giving patients the strongest foundation for long-term recovery.
What is a dual diagnosis, and could it be a part of my Heroin addiction?
A dual diagnosis occurs when someone is living with both a substance use disorder such as heroin addiction and a mental health condition at the same time. Common examples include heroin dependence alongside depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder.
Heroin use can sometimes begin as a way to cope with underlying mental health symptoms. Over time, the drug may make these issues worse, creating a cycle where both the addiction and the mental health condition feed into each other. This can make recovery more complex if only one issue is treated in isolation.
At Malvern Private Detox Hospital in Melbourne, we provide integrated dual diagnosis treatment. This means our programs address both heroin dependence and co-occurring mental health concerns together. Our approach includes:
-
Medical detox and withdrawal support
-
Psychiatric care and medication management (if required)
-
Evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-
Holistic support including mindfulness, yoga, and relaxation therapy
-
Group and peer support programs like NA
Treating both conditions at the same time gives you the best chance of achieving lasting recovery and rebuilding your wellbeing.
How confidential is my treatment?
Your privacy is a priority at Malvern Private Hospital. All aspects of your Marijuana detox treatment are managed in line with strict medical and hospital confidentiality standards.
This means that:
-
Your personal information and medical records are kept secure and only shared with the healthcare professionals directly involved in your care.
-
Details about your treatment are not disclosed to anyone outside your care team without your consent, except where required by law.
-
Family involvement in your treatment only occurs if you choose to include them and provide permission.
Confidentiality helps create a safe and respectful environment where you can focus on your recovery knowing your information is protected.
What happens after detox?
Detox is an important first step, but recovery from marijuana addiction is about much more than simply stopping use. Once withdrawal symptoms settle, ongoing care is vital to help you maintain progress and build a healthier future.
Marijuana detox is part of a 28-day residential program. After detox, patients continue with structured therapies, holistic activities, and practical planning that address the emotional, psychological, and social sides of recovery.
This includes:
-
Individual counselling and group therapy to strengthen coping skills
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches
-
Holistic practices such as yoga, art therapy, and mindfulness
-
Access to support groups such as NA, AA, GA, and in-house meetings
-

Frequently Asked Questions
About Marijuana Withdrawal & Recovery
What is Marijuana Withdrawal?
Marijuana withdrawal is the set of physical and emotional symptoms that can occur when someone who has been using cannabis regularly reduces or stops. While it’s not usually life-threatening, withdrawal can be very uncomfortable and is one of the reasons people find it hard to quit without support.
Common marijuana withdrawal symptoms include:
-
Irritability, mood swings, or anxiety
-
Trouble sleeping or vivid dreams
-
Fatigue and low motivation
-
Changes in appetite
-
Headaches, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating
-
Cravings for cannabis
Symptoms can begin within 24 hours of the last use, often peak within the first week, and may last for one to two weeks. Psychological effects such as cravings or low mood can continue for longer.
Our marijuana withdrawal program provides 24/7 clinical oversight, therapeutic care, and holistic support. This ensures withdrawal is managed safely, with less discomfort, and gives you the best foundation for long-term recovery.

What are the signs of Marijuana dependence?
Marijuana dependence happens when the body and mind adapt to regular use, making it difficult to function without the drug. The signs can look different for everyone, but common indicators include:
-
Using more Marijuana than you planned, or using more often than intended
-
Craving Marijuana or feeling preoccupied with the next use
-
Struggling to cut down or stop, even when you want to
-
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, or anxiety when you don’t use
-
Building tolerance and needing larger amounts to feel the same effect
-
Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home
-
Withdrawing from friends, family, or social activities
-
Continuing to use despite health issues, financial stress, or relationship problems
-
Spending more time and money obtaining and using Marijuana
Recognising these signs is the first step. At Our Drug & Detox Hospital, our hospital-based Marijuana rehab programs provide safe withdrawal management, therapeutic support, and a structured pathway toward long-term recovery.
How does your Marijuana addiction program work?
Our marijuana addiction treatment program is designed to give you more than just a detox. It provides a safe, supportive hospital environment where you can begin withdrawal with medical care and continue building the skills you need for lasting recovery.
Here’s what to expect:
Pre-admission assessment
Before admission, we take the time to listen to your story and understand your needs. In this face-to-face assessment, we explain the program in detail, confirm it’s the right fit, and walk you through private health insurance so you know what to expect with costs.
Inpatient marijuana withdrawal (detox)
You’ll stay in our boutique hospital setting, where withdrawal is monitored 24/7 by doctors, psychiatrists, nurses, and counsellors. Medications are only used when needed to keep you safe and comfortable.
Therapeutic support
Recovery is about more than detox. Our program includes individual counselling, group therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to address the emotional and psychological side of cannabis dependence.
Holistic healing
You’ll also take part in complementary therapies such as yoga, art therapy, and mindfulness practices—helping you reconnect with yourself and learn healthier coping strategies.
Family and peer support
Where appropriate, families are invited to be part of the journey. You’ll also have access to peer groups such as NA and in-house support meetings, so you know you’re not alone.
Planning for the future
Before leaving, we work with you on relapse prevention and a tailored aftercare plan. This may include day programs, outpatient care, or community-based supports to help keep recovery strong.
At Malvern Private, we don’t just help you stop using marijuana, we help you rebuild confidence, resilience, and a healthier life.
How long does Marijuana detox take?
The length of marijuana detox can vary depending on how often and how heavily someone has been using cannabis. Withdrawal symptoms usually begin within 24 hours of the last use, peak in the first 3 to 7 days, and may last up to two weeks.
Some people also experience lingering effects such as cravings, low mood, or sleep problems for several weeks after stopping. This is why professional support makes such a difference.
At Malvern Private Drug & Detox Hospital in Melbourne, marijuana detox is usually part of a structured 28-day residential program. This approach not only manages withdrawal safely with 24/7 medical care but also provides therapy, holistic activities, and relapse prevention planning to support long-term recovery.
What are the withdrawal symptoms of Marijuana?
When someone who regularly uses cannabis reduces or stops, the body and mind adjust to its absence. This process known as marijuana withdrawal is not usually dangerous, but it can feel very uncomfortable and often makes it difficult to quit without support.
Common marijuana withdrawal symptoms include:
-
Irritability, mood swings, or anxiety
-
Difficulty sleeping, vivid dreams, or insomnia
-
Low energy, fatigue, or lack of motivation
-
Restlessness or trouble concentrating
-
Changes in appetite, sometimes with weight loss
-
Headaches or physical discomfort
-
Strong cravings for marijuana
Symptoms usually begin within 24 hours of the last use, peak in the first 3–7 days, and can last up to two weeks. Some emotional effects, such as cravings or low mood, may linger longer.
Our cannibis withdrawal program provides 24/7 medical oversight, therapeutic care, and holistic support. This ensures withdrawal is managed safely and comfortably, giving patients the strongest foundation for long-term recovery.
What is a dual diagnosis, and could it be a part of my Marijuana addiction?
A dual diagnosis happens when someone is living with both marijuana addiction (or cannabis use disorder) and a mental health condition at the same time. This could include depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder.
Recognising dual diagnosis is important because treating only the cannabis use or only the mental health concern often leaves people stuck in a cycle of relapse. Many people begin using drugs to cope with stress, trauma, or emotional pain, but over time it can make those underlying issues worse.
We specialise in trauma-informed care, which makes us different from many other programs. Our team understands how past experiences and emotional struggles can drive marijuana dependence, and we work to treat both the addiction and the mental health condition together.
With medical detox, psychiatric support, evidence-based therapies like CBT, and holistic practices such as mindfulness, yoga, and art therapy, we help you heal the root causes… not just the symptoms. This integrated approach gives you the best chance of lasting recovery and a healthier future.
How confidential is my treatment?
Your privacy is a priority at Malvern Private Hospital. All aspects of your Marijuana detox treatment are managed in line with strict medical and hospital confidentiality standards.
This means that:
-
Your personal information and medical records are kept secure and only shared with the healthcare professionals directly involved in your care.
-
Details about your treatment are not disclosed to anyone outside your care team without your consent, except where required by law.
-
Family involvement in your treatment only occurs if you choose to include them and provide permission.
Confidentiality helps create a safe and respectful environment where you can focus on your recovery knowing your information is protected.
What happens after detox?
Detox is an important first step, but recovery from marijuana addiction is about much more than simply stopping use. Once withdrawal symptoms settle, ongoing care is vital to help you maintain progress and build a healthier future.
Marijuana detox is part of a 28-day residential program. After detox, patients continue with structured therapies, holistic activities, and practical planning that address the emotional, psychological, and social sides of recovery.
This includes:
-
Individual counselling and group therapy to strengthen coping skills
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches
-
Holistic practices such as yoga, art therapy, and mindfulness
-
Access to support groups such as NA, AA, GA, and in-house meetings
-
Relapse prevention planning and strategies to stay strong in daily life
-
Family education and involvement where appropriate
What makes Malvern unique is that we don’t just help you get through detox… we mentor, guide, and walk beside you as you learn new habits, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with the life you want to live.
Recovery continues well beyond withdrawal, and we make sure you’re supported every step of the way!
