A recent pilot study conducted by UBC Okanagan and Thompson Rivers University has shed light on the potential benefits of medically supervised cannabis use in a residential recovery home for individuals struggling with substance use challenges. The study, published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, aimed to explore how cannabis could support individuals in managing pain, anxiety, depression, and sleep issues during their recovery journey.

According to the findings of the study, participants reported that cannabis helped them effectively address key symptoms that often complicate recovery, such as cravings for opioids and other harmful substances, pain management, and mental health and sleep quality. Dr. Zach Walsh, a psychology professor at UBC Okanagan and co-lead researcher of the study, noted that medical cannabis could play a significant role in reducing cravings and improving retention in recovery programs.

Despite the promising results, the study also highlighted the presence of stigma surrounding cannabis use as a barrier to its integration into recovery programs. Staff interviews revealed a need for increased education and better integration of cannabis treatment approaches to overcome this stigma. Dr. Florriann Fehr, co-lead researcher and nursing professor at Thompson Rivers University, emphasized the importance of reducing stigma through targeted education for program staff.

The study, conducted at Maverick Supportive Recovery, a residential recovery center in the BC interior, sought to better understand patient and staff experiences with medically supervised cannabis use in a supportive recovery environment. While the results are encouraging, researchers stress the need for larger-scale studies to fully assess the benefits and risks of incorporating medical cannabis into substance use recovery programs.

In conclusion, the collaborative efforts of researchers from UBC Okanagan and Thompson Rivers University have provided valuable insights into the potential of medical cannabis as a supportive tool in substance use recovery. By addressing stigma, increasing education, and conducting further research, there is a clear opportunity to enhance recovery support and improve outcomes for individuals seeking recovery from substance use challenges.
