The Cannabis Clinic for Patients with Psychosis (CCP) is a specialist service bringing together mental health care and addiction support for adults experiencing psychosis who use cannabis. 🧵 #MentalHealth #DualDiagnosis #Psychosis
Cannabis and psychosis - the link is stronger than many people realise. This is the story of the UK's first NHS clinic that helps people safely reduce or stop the use of cannabis.

The clinic was made possible by @maudsleycharity.bsky.social , whose funding helped bring this innovative service to life. #MaudsleyCharity #NHSInnovation #MentalHealthCare
What support looks like - patients work with clinicians to set personal goals to manage cravings, reduce use and even stop completely. Support includes therapy, peer groups and relapse prevention.
