Marijuana Abuse & Addiction Rehab

Addiction is a chronic disease. As such, long-term treatments prove to be far more effective inpatient rehabilitation than short-term ones. Marijuana addicts may remain in treatment for one, two, or three months, depending on the severity of their condition.

Rehab facilities that offer inpatient care target not only the physical part of the detox process (withdrawal) but also provide behavioral therapy sessions. These methods are meant to help patients understand the issues that may have led to addiction and give them the tools to handle future cravings and avoid relapse.

Rehab centers only allow patients to bring in the bare minimum, and most of them have strict policies. In most cases, patients can bring the following items:

• A contact list of family, friends, or those who are involved in the treatment
• Small amounts of money
• Everyday jewelry (such as wedding rings, or other objects that are emotionally valuable to a patient)
• Notebook
• Current medical prescription and medication for other health issues;
• Pictures

Most facilities also have a strict dress code, so patients must consult these rules before being admitted.

Most inpatient marijuana rehab centers are structured as follows: the medical professionals who handle the rehabilitation process and the administrative staff who run the day to day operations. Inpatient centers also employ housekeepers and residence managers.

The medical staff has all the necessary training to address addiction holistically. They focus not only on treating the withdrawal symptoms but also the psychological afflictions and emotional trauma that patients are struggling to overcome. As such, most facilities offer a wide array of treatment programs such as yoga, counseling, or sports.

How Does Family Therapy Work in Drug Treatment?

Family therapy employs the notion that it is more efficient to target the group as a whole, rather than just the individual. A family shares a particular bond between its members, and this therapy method works towards changing one component of the relationship, improving the bond and helping family members reconnect with each other.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services claims that this method is vital in a patient’s rehabilitation process. Individuals can often feel abandoned during rehab, so integrating their loved ones into their therapy can have positive results to their mental state. Moreover, family members can often struggle to deal with addiction, and such treatments aim to offer them a support system even if they are not the ones admitted to the marijuana rehab.

Once the patient has completed their medical detox process, they are subsequently involved in several behavioral therapies that aim to rehabilitate them, help them learn how to handle drug cravings, and avoid relapsing.

The particular methods for these therapies differ from clinic to clinic, though most will offer individualized treatment plans for patients, depending on their particular condition.

Some methods include:

• Counseling
• Individual, group or family therapy
• Meditation and yoga
• Sports, hiking, and other physical activities
• The 12-step program

The success level of addiction rehabilitation depends on the patient’s condition once they enter the marijuana rehab center. It is vital to enroll in such programs and start getting treated as soon as possible.

Some people say that marijuana is not an addictive substance. We beg to differ. Research has shown that up to 30% of people who use this drug will develop not only a psychological affinity to continue using, but also acquire a marijuana use disorder. When a person becomes addicted to marijuana it means that even though the use of the drug is interfering with daily life, the person cannot stop using.

Since our medically assisted marijuana detox treats each person on an individual basis, we will craft a transition for you as you move into our inpatient marijuana rehab. One complication with marijuana today is the drug’s legal status in some states. Despite the recent changes, we still gauge each person’s use of that substance with one lens: is it destroying their life? After all, alcohol has been legal for some time, and it wrecks lives all the time.

The rehab center at Windward Way has had widespread success with our addiction treatment program to stop a dependency on marijuana in its tracks. You’ll be surprised how straightforward our admissions process is. You or someone you care deeply about won’t have to keep living without hope for the future. Finally, an alternative to being stoned all the time will be readily available. (Plus, your monthly pizza budget will go down significantly!) Call us now to begin your new life: (855) 491-7694.
