Understanding Marijuana Abuse

When looking for a rehab center for cannabis abuse or for a marijuana treatment center there are a few things we would like you to consider before choosing a rehab program for marijuana.

Inpatient treatment for cannabis addictions

Inpatient treatment programs allow the client to stay at the facility while receiving treatment for their marijuana addiction. This can be beneficial to the client if they feel that their home environment may be a trigger to relapse, while in a program at home. Entering into a treatment program for marijuana allows for disconnection from the stresses and pressures that can be seemingly overwhelming to handle while being treated for addiction to marijuana. Residential treatment programs can give you the separation from everyday stresses while giving you the support of your peers and treatment counseling staff. 

Day treatment allows the individual to enroll in a treatment program, while still being able to go home at night. This type of program is best suited for those who are self-starters and serious about getting over their addiction to Marijuana.  Still requiring a large time commitment, these types of programs offer 2-8 hour day programs for 3-7 days a week, depending on the program offerings. Day treatment can also have a sober living component that will allow for partially supervised housing while enrolled in their program.

Cannabis use can lead to some addictive behaviors. If you need help, please do not hesitate to call us, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What type of treatment is available for marijuana addiction?

Most people can consider marijuana a harmless drug that should be legal, however, there are some people who develop a dependency on the drug and can need help overcoming their addiction.
Several different treatments are available for someone who is struggling with marijuana addiction. There are 2 very distinct types of treatment; inpatient rehab programs and outpatient drug and alcohol programs. Once a decision has been made as to which level of care is necessary for treatment, then there is the question as to what type of programs will work for the specific individual’s case and addiction. If there is a mental health issue along with cannabis addiction, look for a dual diagnosis type of program, to help the individual with both conditions while in treatment.

Look for low-cost or no-cost treatment programs if you do not have insurance coverage. If you have insurance, find out what they will cover, by giving us a call and we can get your insurance verified within 24-48 hours depending on the day or time you call.  
Make sure that there are aftercare programs available, either through the local center you choose or through a partnership program.

teen drug abuse


My teenager is smoking pot. What can I do?


Oftentimes, it is teenagers that enter treatment for marijuana addiction. Due to the availability and in some states, legal marijuana, there is a real concern with children over-medicating with marijuana that is meant for medical patients. Children that start to abuse marijuana at a young age, can have some developmental issues, as we still have very little understanding of how this drug can affect the growth and emotional stability of children that abuse marijuana. For more information and treatment options for teens, we recommend that you go to Free My Addiction for more teenage addiction and treatment information. 

There are many risk factors that can lead up  to teen marijuana abuse which can include: 
  • Premature sexual encounters 
  • Family issues
  • Trauma 
  • Peer pressure 
  • Problems emotionally
  • Undiagnosed mental disorders
  • Misinformation about the dangers of marijuana abuse

What are the Costs of treatment for marijuana addiction?

Inpatient cannabis rehab can cost nothing or it can cost in the tens of thousands of dollars depending on many variables associated with the treatment program you choose. 

Prices of private treatment for addiction can range from $5,000 a month up to about $20,000 a month, depending on the program or amenities offered.

Luxury or executive treatment programs for addiction can range from $20,000 a month up to $80,000 a month.


Prices of treatment with insurance vary depending on the type of plan and mental health coverage that you have available. Using your insurance to cover marijuana treatment will usually have a copay deductible that will have to be met by the insurance grantees. If you have health insurance and would like to find out exactly what you are covered for, our free service can get you verified for treatment, usually within 24-48 hours.

If you think that a friend or family member could benefit from receiving treatment for their weed addiction, talk to them and have treatment options already researched so you can be informed and ready if they want help.
