Get Powerful, Effective Help for Marijuana Addiction
Millions of people in the United States deal with marijuana addiction each year, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Addiction is a serious mental health problem, and people struggling will often need the help of professional marijuana rehab in order to recover.
At Luxe Treatment Center we’ve built a detailed and comprehensive marijuana rehab to help people overcome drug addiction and build healthier lives in recovery. Don’t delay seeking treatment for one more day – quality addiction treatment can help.
Understanding Marijuana Addiction
Despite what many people think, marijuana is a highly addictive substance. People who smoke marijuana can rapidly find themselves dealing with a marijuana use disorder, experiencing intense drug cravings and even withdrawal symptoms if they suddenly stop.
Like other addictions, marijuana addiction affects several areas of a person’s life, including:
Social Domains
Substance use disorders can lead people to struggle to maintain healthy, functional social relationships. People who use marijuana may experience:
- Damaged relationships with friends and family
- Loss of interest in important social hobbies or activities
- Isolation from others
- Changes in social circles
These social effects can vastly reduce a person’s sense of overall well-being.
Mental Health
The mental health aspects of marijuana use disorder can be particularly troubling and are often the reason people seek treatment. These symptoms include:
- Anxiety
- Addiction
- Paranoia
- Depression
- Worsening of pre-existing mental health conditions
- Poor memory
- Inability to focus or concentrate
Most of these symptoms will improve dramatically when people achieve recovery, but it’s important to begin marijuana rehab as soon as possible to ensure they don’t create lasting problems.
Physical Health
Marijuana can also cause physical health problems when people are in the midst of active addiction. This includes symptoms such as:
- Breathing problems
- Elevated heart rate
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- A weakened immune system
Many of these symptoms can recover quickly when a person quits marijuana use.
Marijuana Withdrawal
When people are dealing with a marijuana use disorder, they often experience several withdrawal symptoms when they attempt to stop. These withdrawal symptoms are worse for heavy users and can become an incredibly challenging obstacle on the path to addiction recovery.
In recent years, the development of high-potency marijuana strains, THC concentrates, and high-dose edibles has made marijuana withdrawals much more severe than had been observed in previous decades. People can experience symptoms such as:
- Mood swings
- Irritability
- Anxiety
- Restlessness
- Insomnia
- Nightmares
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Headaches
- Depression
These symptoms can last for up to three to five weeks and cause many people to return to active addiction rather than continuing the path to recovery.
Fortunately, treatment at a marijuana detox can vastly reduce the intensity of marijuana withdrawal symptoms.
Marijuana Detox
Medical detox is the first step of the addiction treatment process for people addicted to marijuana. At a marijuana detox, clients receive targeted medications and treatments designed to alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms of withdrawal, 24/7 medical support, and a safe and restorative space for them to recover.
Detox can also identify mental health concerns that may be driving substance abuse. Co-occurring mental illness, for example, is a common reason that people turn to marijuana abuse.
Upon admission to Luxe Treatment Center’s medical detox program, clients receive several mental health assessments and diagnostic procedures to help identify these disorders and help people get the treatment they need.
While detox is an important component of the marijuana addiction treatment model, it must be followed by residential treatment in order to ensure long-term sobriety.
Residential Treatment
The next step in marijuana addiction treatment is attending a residential treatment center. In residential treatment, clients live on-site at our drug abuse treatment facility and can focus their energy on learning the skills and tools needed to sustain a lifetime of recovery.
Residential treatment has several advantages, making it the ideal choice for those seeking treatment.
First, it allows people to remove themselves from the omnipresent triggers, temptations, and cravings in the outside world. This separation helps people manage the first weeks of sobriety without risking relapse every time they step out the door.
In addition, clients in residential treatment cohabitate with other people seeking addiction recovery. This helps foster peer support for recovery, helps clients build healthy relationships in sobriety, and affords them the opportunity to help other people struggling overcome their challenges.
Residential treatment can be thought of as an incubator for recovery. By delivering intensive therapies and treatments in a short period of time, people can get back on their feet and be prepared to return to community living with less fear of relapse.
