How we treat marijuana dependence

Marijuana is derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, and produces cannabinoids, psychoactive chemical compounds that, when ingested or smoked, can affect cognition, reward and pleasure responses, and impair perception. This 'high' can be pleasant in the short term, but can lead to a range of long term effects, including impaired cognitive function, and a range of comorbid (dual diagnosis) mental health issues.

The Hader Clinic takes marijuana dependence just as seriously as other substance addictions. We take a holistic approach to cannabis addiction treatment, meaning we addresses the physical, emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual nature of addiction. We begin by treating the physical symptoms of withdrawal, then moving on to group and individual marijuana rehab therapies where patients can find their sense of self again.

We offer several treatments for marijuana abuse at varying costs. These unique programs are designed to give every addict the best possible chance at recovery.

Signs of marijuana addiction

We do know that there is a heightened chance of developing conditions like anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and motivation disorders.

  • Extreme paranoia

Withdrawal from marijuana addiction

Because of marijuana’s harmless reputation, compared to meth or cocaine, you may not be aware you can go to rehab for weed. Withdrawing from any potentially addictive substance can be difficult. Marijuana dependence can be incredibly hard to kick, especially considering how widely accessible the substance is. Prolonged marijuana abuse only makes withdrawal more difficult.

Symptoms of marijuana dependence withdrawal include:

  • Grouchiness and irritability
  • Sleeplessness and insomnia
  • Decreased appetite and nausea
  • Anxiety and hopelessness
  • Uncontrollable cravings

Withdrawal is the first step of The Hader Clinic’s marijuana addiction treatment. At our Melbourne cannabis rehab facility, patients will find all the medical and therapeutic support they need. Visit our 28-Day Detox and Withdrawal page to learn more about our first-step program.

Frequently asked questions about treatment for marijuana abuse

Có đúng là không thể nghiện cần sa không?

Điều đó hoàn toàn không đúng. Bạn có thể nghiện bất cứ thứ gì mang lại cho bạn khoái cảm, kể cả cần sa. Nghiện cần sa được xếp vào loại rối loạn sử dụng chất gây nghiện — trong đó người bệnh không thể ngừng sử dụng chất gây nghiện, bất chấp những tác động tiêu cực về thể chất, tâm lý, cảm xúc, xã hội và tinh thần của thuốc.

Trên thực tế, ước tính có khoảng 9 đến 30% người sử dụng cần sa sẽ phát triển một số chứng rối loạn sử dụng chất gây nghiện. Cần sa gây nghiện vì nó mang lại cảm giác khoái lạc cho người sử dụng; nó dễ dàng tiếp cận và dễ dàng tiêu thụ với số lượng lớn một khi đạt đến một mức độ dung nạp nhất định.

Does marijuana dependence affect mental health?

Marijuana is a psychoactive substance that can affect mental health. Prolonged heavy use of marijuana can trigger or exacerbate a range of mental disorders. These can range from the temporary, like paranoia and hallucinations, to the extreme. Schizophrenia is one such example, and can manifest in terrifying hallucinations and paranoia.

Marijuana has also been linked to other mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation among young people. However, there hasn't been enough research done to say categorically that the drug is the cause.

The Hader Clinic’s Melbourne marijuana rehab facility offers treatments for the psychological and emotional components of marijuana addiction.

I only use marijuana a few times a week. Am I addicted?

Marijuana dependence has no real definition, only the way you think and feel about the drug. If you are constantly craving your next smoke, you may be dependent. If you are continually making concessions and life changes in order to acquire or use marijuana, you may be dependent.

Prolonged marijuana use is a slippery slope. Casual smoking can lead to full-blown daily dependence in just a few months. If you believe that you or a loved one might be afflicted with marijuana dependence, get in touch with The Hader Clinic for an assessment at our free 60-Minute Consultation.

My loved one is a smart cookie. How did they get addicted to smoking marijuana?

Addiction afflicts all kinds of people, regardless of their race, age, sex, income, or level of intelligence. Smart people are just as susceptible to marijuana dependence as less intelligent people. Addiction is a disease, but fortunately, one that can be treated.

Addiction doesn't discriminate, and this is why The Hader Clinic practices a holistic model of marijuana addiction treatment. We take the time to understand why and how marijuana dependence is affecting your loved one. We then give them the best chance at long term recovery through specialised cannabis rehab programs.
