Marijuana Detox

If you have been using marijuana for a prolonged period of time, you may need to undergo marijuana detox in order to control the cravings that can set in when you're not using the drug. While marijuana withdrawal is not as serious as withdrawal from stronger substances like heroin, cocaine and methamphetamines, there are still significant symptoms that can make it difficult to stop using the drug.

In a medically-monitored marijuana detox, the symptoms of marijuana withdrawal can be effectively monitored to allow for a more successful detoxification, which in turn, will facilitate a more effective recovery.

Marijuana Withdrawal

In many cases, the symptoms of marijuana withdrawal are the direct opposite of the effects of the drug. Where using the drug causes one to feel hungry, withdrawal causes one to lose their appetite. Where the drug can cause drowsiness, withdrawal can cause insomnia. Other symptoms of marijuana withdrawal can include:

  • Irritability
  • Increased paranoia
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Aggression
  • Anxiety
  • Craving for the drug

Marijuana Detox and Treatment

Because the symptoms experienced in marijuana detox are uncomfortable, but not life threatening, detox medications are usually not administered. Under close supervision and through exercise and support, an individual can detox from marijuana use generally after several days.

Once the marijuana detox is complete, the individual will move on to the rehabilitation program. Here, they will learn new life skills, coping mechanisms and other tools necessary for living a healthier life free from marijuana and other drugs. Some of the components of marijuana treatment can include:

TESTIMONIALS

I know you will never believe it but it has been ten and a half months since I finished treatment and am still in recovery. I know you will say it may be more of a miracle that I finished rehab being that I was about as resistant a patient can be, but I am making it one day at a time. Special thanks to Robert.

This is to my therapist Bobby, who never gave up on me. I could never have made it through rehab without your patience. You taught me that I am worth it.

-- Bryan, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My life was a shambles, my husband wanted a divorce and my children wouldn't speak with me. I felt hopeless until we all got together for family treatment. While we all have some hills to climb, my recovery is solid. Who would have thought, 476 days sober. Love to all.

You guys were right when you told me to get right into meetings. They have kept me clean and sober and I have made a lot of good friends. Thanks for bringing meetings into rehab.
