Marijuana Addiction Treatment
Marijuana addiction treatment is on the rise in America, both in clinical settings, residential settings and in emergency rooms and inpatient psychiatric facilities that treat extreme forms of mental illness. Much of the reason why treatment for marijuana addiction is increasing is due to significantly increased potency in marijuana flower, edibles and especially in extracts. Extracts themselves may also include chemical pollutants that may exacerbate psychiatric disorders and well as health disorders.
According to the Centers for Disease Control,
“In a study of cannabis research samples over time, the average delta-9 THC (the main form of THC in the cannabis plant) concentration almost doubled, from 9% in 2008 to 17% in 2017.7 Products from dispensaries often offer much higher concentrations than seen in this study. In a study of products available in online dispensaries in 3 states with legal non-medical adult marijuana use, the average THC concentration was 22%, with a range of 0% to 45%.8 In addition, some methods of using marijuana (for example, dabbing and vaping concentrates) may deliver very high levels of THC to the user.
Researchers do not yet know the full extent of the consequences when the body and brain are exposed to high concentrations of THC or how recent increases in concentrations affect the risk of someone developing marijuana use disorder.”
About Our Marijuana Addiction Treatment Programs
With over 7 different locations, Sobriety Options can help you or your loved one gain admission to one the best marijuana addiction programs in the country. We also understand that many people who suffer from marijuana use disorder also may struggle with other substances, most commonly, alcohol, prescription medication or other drugs, licit or otherwise.
Our first step in the process is to have a brief introductory call with you or a loved one and understand the full scope of what the person seeking treatment is struggling with. We then verify your insurance benefits so you don’t need to deal with your insurance provider. Afterwards, we’ll give you a call back and let you know if your policy of insurance will cover the cost of care. If so, we’ll talk more about our locations and schedule a brief assessment with one of the members of our clinical or medical staff to determine the best, personalized plan for you. While marijuana addiction programs do not require an initial 7-10 day detox program, for those who use multiple substances, our initial clinical assessments will determine if its necessary to treat withdrawals from other substances of abuse through a supervised medical detox program.
