Ganja/Cannabis De-Addiction Treatment in Vadodara | VCAN Hospital

Ganja (cannabis) use has grown sharply among teenagers and young adults across Gujarat. Because it is widely seen as "natural" or less harmful than alcohol, families often notice the problem only when studies, work or behaviour have already been affected.

Regular cannabis use can lead to dependence. People who try to stop often experience irritability, anger, poor sleep, low appetite, anxiety and strong cravings. In some people, especially those who start young or use high-potency charas, cannabis can trigger psychosis, paranoia or worsen depression. Read more in our article Cannabis Addiction in Gujarat.

Families often try to manage the problem at home — taking away money, changing friend circles, or sending the young person to stay with relatives. These steps rarely work on their own because dependence changes how the brain responds to stress and reward. Professional treatment addresses the craving, the underlying emotional reasons for use, and the family patterns around it. At VCAN, ganja de-addiction is handled by psychiatrists and counsellors who work with young people every day, in a setting that feels like a hospital — not a lockup.
