Marijuana Addiction
Marijuana Addiction Is Not A Myth
Contrary to popular belief, marijuana abuse can lead to addiction. Individuals suffering from marijuana addiction use the drug compulsively even though it often interferes with family, school, work, and recreational activities. And, as with other addictive substance abuse, marijuana withdrawal symptoms can make it hard for chronic marijuana smokers to stop using the drug. People with signs of marijuana addiction who try to quit report irritability, difficulty sleeping, and anxiety. They also display increased aggression on psychological tests, peaking approximately 1 week after they last used marijuana.
Marijuana Addiction Treatment at RENAISSANCE MALIBU
If you or a loved one is suffering from marijuana addiction - or marijuana addiction in combination with alcohol or drug abuse -- comprehensive treatment is offered at Malibu Renaissance that will holistically address your problem and help you to resume a healthy, productive, drug-free life. At RENAISSANCE MALIBU, our marijuana addiction Programs offer personalized, confidential and effective treatment in a breath-taking environment of natural beauty and therapeutic serenity.
Upon arrival, each new client receives a series of personal evaluations to assess his or her status in each of the program's four main healing components; Mind, Body, Spirit, and Relationships. The world-renowned clinical staff at RENAISSANCE MALIBU then designs an individualized marijuana addiction treatment program from an unprecedented range of both traditional and innovative options. We treat the physical consequences of your marijuana abuse; address the destructiveness to family and friends; identify your inner struggles and distorted beliefs that have led to - and exacerbated -- your chronic marijuana abuse; and provide you with grounding in the spiritual components crucial for life-long recovery from marijuana addiction.
Evaluating Marijuana Dependency Programs
Any treatment center you contact that boasts first-rate marijuana abuse or marijuana addiction treatment should be entirely able - and willing -- to supply answers to any and all of your questions. Marijuana addiction in combination with alcohol or other drugs can be life threatening, so do not be timid in asking, and be sure that you are comfortable with the answers.
First, determine the accreditation of the marijuana treatment program you are considering. Remarkably, there are many marijuana addiction rehabs that have no accreditation, often because their treatment methods are questionable. Some of the more dubious treatment centers even state that there is a "simple answer" to marijuana addiction, and that dealing with emotional, relationship and family issues is not necessary. Be aware that this treatment approach is short-sited, counter-productive, and entirely inaccurate.
If you or a loved one suffers from marijuana addiction -- or marijuana addiction combined with alcohol or drug abuse -- and is looking for effective treatment, you should inquire:
. Is the clinical staff fully licensed - not merely certified?
. Do they specialize in marijuana abuse and addiction?
. Can they point to a history of success in marijuana addiction treatment and recovery?
. Do they have relapse prevention and continuing care programs?
. Does the marijuana addiction program offer a continuum of care, where you can transition to lesser or greater levels of care if you need them?
. Does the marijuana addiction program offer a wide range of ancillary professionals and activities to further accommodate your specialized needs?
. Is the program structure flexible enough to accommodate personal needs?
. Does the marijuana treatment program offer a balance of group and individual activities?
. Does the program offer specialized treatment tracks for your specific needs?
. Does the marijuana addiction program take place in an institutional setting or offer a beautiful, serene environment conducive to healing?
