Marijuana Abuse Treatment
Most people recognize the medical benefits of cannabis and consider marijuana a harmless drug that should be legalized throughout the country, however, some people develop a dependency on the drug and can need help overcoming their addiction. The first step in looking for a rehab center is to decide if you should go to a short-term or, long-term program. Private long-term programs are the most effective form of treatment for addiction. Outpatient drug rehabilitation programs can offer a good alternative for light drug and alcohol users. Residential rehabs are treatment homes that you live in for a period of time. This type of drug rehab center can often also address some of the underlying psychological or behavioral problems associated with drug and alcohol addictions. People with mental or medical concerns, as well as substance use disorders, are the most likely to use residential treatment.

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. It is sometimes beneficial for the client to go to treatment further away from home. Getting away from temptations and friends who may still be using is often better for many people. Clients who go to rehab in another state also have a harder time leaving treatment early as well. Depending on the situation, our counselors may suggest looking for substance abuse programs that are a plane flight away.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 smoking pot. 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 the program.
