Phoenix Rising Recovery offers rehab options for marijuana addiction in Palm Springs, California. One of the most common substances that people abuse today is marijuana. Despite recreational marijuana use becoming legal in many states, people often dismiss how addictive the drug can be. What may start as casual usage can quickly turn into an addiction, which negatively impacts a person’s physical and emotional well-being. When this happens, finding the right marijuana rehab gives a person the best chance to recover.
Prior to developing marijuana addiction, individuals develop marijuana dependency. Marijuana dependence is characterized by suffering from withdrawal symptoms anytime one minimizes or discontinues the use of the substance. This result comes about because the person has become dependent on marijuana to function. If usage continues, marijuana addiction often occurs.
A report showed that 30% of marijuana users may develop a marijuana use disorder. The earlier the person starts using pot, the greater the likelihood they will develop an addiction. Those who start using pot before turning 18 are four to seven times more likely to develop a marijuana use disorder. In 2015, approximately 4 million people in the U.S. had a marijuana use disorder.
With more states legalizing recreational pot, more people have direct and legal access to it. This increases the need for quality marijuana rehab programs to help them get off the drug.
A person who has become addicted to marijuana may exhibit specific signs of it. Signs to look out for include:
When someone who has developed a dependence on or addiction to marijuana tries to stop using it, they often experience withdrawal symptoms. Some common signs and symptoms of marijuana addiction include:
People who suffer from marijuana dependency and addiction need to begin their recovery process by attending a professional marijuana detox program first. Detox involves ridding the body of all marijuana toxins built up in their systems. Detoxing from marijuana usually takes somewhere from five to seven days to complete. Factors that influence how long it takes include how long the person has been addicted, how much marijuana they typically use, and any relevant medical or psychological conditions they experience.
Detoxing in a marijuana rehab will usually include experiencing withdrawal symptoms. While there are no prescription withdrawal medications available specifically for marijuana detox, a detox program can still make the process less difficult. Detox provides people with general medical and psychological support to help them navigate withdrawal symptoms, including reducing and eliminating many of them.
Many types of therapy are useful in helping someone overcome an addiction to drugs and alcohol – including marijuana. Marijuana rehab often includes several therapy programs that help a person understand what caused their addiction, how to recover, and how to communicate better with themselves and their loved ones. These types of therapy include:
Inpatient marijuana rehab is for individuals with severe marijuana addictions. During this type of rehab, patients will live in a facility and receive 24/7 care and monitoring. Living in a substance-free environment allows residents to focus solely on their journey to recovery and overall health throughout treatment.
Each day has structured time, such as therapy appointments, but also includes downtime. Residents can relax in their rooms or engage socially with other residents who are also working on learning to live a sober life. Inpatient marijuana rehab lasts around 30 days but may take longer.
Outpatient forms of marijuana rehab are less structured than inpatient forms of marijuana rehab. Outpatient care involves attending treatment sessions during the day and returning home at night. Some people attend outpatient programming after completing residential treatment, while others enter it right after finishing detox. The three most common types of outpatient programs include:
Standard outpatient treatment requires its patients to attend treatment a couple of hours a day, once or twice a week. This is the least structured type of outpatient treatment and requires the least amount of time attending sessions.
IOP requires patients to receive treatment approximately a few hours a day, a few days a week. This program suits those who need more time spent in sessions than OP provides, but does not require the time-intensive commitment of PHP.
PHP requires patients to attend treatment five to eight hours a day, five to seven days a week. This is the most structured type of outpatient treatment and requires the most amount of time attending sessions.
