The treatment for marijuana addiction is similar to that of any other drug addiction. Individuals who are attempting to quit using marijuana on their own need support and understanding. Those who find that they are unable to quit using on their own must find alternate methods to ending their addiction. Below are several treatment options to choose from. The severity of the user's addiction should be a key factor in their treatment choice.
Those who find that they seem to have little to no trouble to giving up marijuana use may choose to attend support group meetings to aid in their recovery and help them when they feel weak. Those who are chronic users and are unable to stop using, no matter how hard they try should consider attending an inpatient marijuana treatment program. There they will be provided with 24 hour support as well as trained professionals who understand what they are experiencing.
The process for marijuana addiction treatment typically goes as follows:
The individual goes through marijuana withdrawal
Then enters a detoxification process that helps in removing the remaining THC metabolites from their system
Finally, the individual attends behavioral therapy to address their addiction to marijuana
