What is Marijuana? Is Marijuana Addictive?

Rehabilitation programs have evolved over the years, both to accommodate new addictions and to incorporate various new psychosocial therapies as they've been created (such as contingency management and cognitive-behavioral therapy).

Because of the complexity of addiction and potential for relapse following treatment, rehab programs are usually recommended to achieve a comprehensive treatment approach to your addiction, with the ultimate goal of abstinence.

Do I Need Marijuana Rehab? Is There Marijuana Treatment?

Marijuana addiction is a little bit unique, in that the ability to become psychologically and physiologically dependent on marijuana is a rather new idea. For years, marijuana use was considered completely voluntary until the present day researchers concluded that it could, in fact, result in addiction. Now, marijuana addicts are encouraged to seek treatment just as frequently as those addicted to other substances.

There are some indicators that may support rehab over outpatient/at-home detox and treatment attempts:

• If you have unsuccessfully tried to stop using marijuana in the past, or your attempt at treatment has resulted in relapse, then you may be a good candidate for rehab.
• If you have a low level of motivation to stop using marijuana or a poor support system at home, you may be more likely to achieve abstinence without relapse by attending rehab.
• Abuse of multiple substances also indicates that rehab may be the best treatment option.
• Medical complications are another reason that would lead you to seek rehab, as supervision by trained medical professionals is a part of the program.
  • Not only do the medical care staff ensure your safety during detox, but they also deal with any medical complications that arise.
  • This includes medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and epilepsy, as well as mental health conditions, such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression.

Rehab provides you the comforting company of others who are also going through the same struggles. Trained professionals also support you through the rehab process by helping you manage withdrawal symptoms and providing medical support.

How Long Does Rehab Take?

The length of time spent in rehab varies between programs, and also depends upon the severity of your addiction. Generally, programs are no shorter than 30 days but can last as long as 12 months.

Each program length has advantages and disadvantages.

• For example, the 30-day programs are long enough to facilitate detox and a short course of psychosocial treatments, but you can return to your normal life and work in a timely fashion.
• The medium length programs (60-90 days) have more time built in for learning life skills and applying what you have learned from the psychosocial treatment sessions but are more costly than 30-day programs.
• Lastly, those programs lasting several months to 1 year are considered therapeutic communities.
  • You live and work with your fellow patients, completing intensive psychosocial treatments as well as 12-step programs.
  • Some patients may return to their existing jobs while others learn new job skills during rehab.

Types of Rehab

• 
  Residential Rehab. Residential rehab describes any program that requires the patients to live at the rehab center during treatment. These are inpatient rehab centers, and they offer supervision and support 24/7.

  The majority of patients who want inpatient rehab and treatment decide to attend a base-level residential rehab program. These are the most cost efficient for the general public.

• 
  Private or Luxury Rehab. Private or luxury rehab centers are residential rehab centers that cater to the more high-end clientele, providing patients with services outside of the typical drug rehab treatment.

  These services, which can often be found at high-end luxury resorts as well, include recreational activities, spa services, aromatherapy, and acupuncture to name a few. Private or luxury rehab centers mirror a hotel or resort environment, which can help patients learn how to live without abusing substances while simultaneously learning how to relax and cope with stress in more productive ways.

  This type of rehab is more expensive than the general residential rehab, and caters to a smaller percentage of the population.

• 
  Executive Rehab. Executive rehab centers are primarily designed for celebrities and high-level management personnel (CEO, CFO, VP, etc.).

  These facilities are unique in that they allow the patient to still participate in their busy lives (such as work-related functions) while still receiving the treatment and support they need to recover.

  The patients at executive rehab facilities have the support of their peers and the staff at the facility while still being allowed to interact with clients and business associates. These centers are private and often secluded, providing an escape from the media. As always, treatment at an executive rehab center is confidential and allows the patient to take a step away from his/her hectic life and focus on recovery.

  Executive rehab tends to be the most expensive of the options, but comes with the most amenities and is designed to cater to a specific clientele who require such discrete services.

• 
  Other Specialized Rehab Programs.There are other rehab programs that specialize in certain populations, such as:

  • Adolescents.
  • Pregnant women.
  • The LGBT community.
  • Those who desire a faith-based rehab experience.

   

  One of the primary benefits of specialized programs is to create a comfortable environment that surrounds patients with others facing similar struggles and complications to the rehab process. This creates a very supportive rehab environment, and allows the patients to support each other in ways that the staff cannot. One reason that prevents substance abusers from seeking treatment is a fear of being judged by their peers, and with the supportive environment created by specialized rehab programs, this fear is eliminated.

Paying For Marijuana Rehab

Residential rehab can be very expensive. However, there are low-cost and free treatment options that you can explore:

• Some community health departments offer free medical care, and may cover the costs of marijuana detox.
• Also, many colleges and universities with psychology programs offer free counseling--you may have to speak with a student in training (under the direction of a licensed counselor).
• Asking family members for help with the financial burden of marijuana rehab may also be an option, but this should be evaluated on an individual basis.
  • Do not harm your relationship with your family if you believe that asking for financial support will not be well received.
• For those with severe marijuana addiction, and for whom rehab is a requirement to get back on track, selling assets may be an option to pay for rehab.
  • Just keep in mind that when you are discharged from rehab, you will need a place to live to get back on your feet.
• You may also be able to qualify for a public loan or an employer's assistance program to help pay for rehab.

After rehab, one of a few different things can happen.

Find a Meeting 12-step meetings and recovery groups are great resources for those looking for support in recovery. Find a meeting today.

• If you have a stable home environment with supportive family and friends, then you may be advised to return home and begin either searching for a job or return to work if your employer held your job while in rehab.
• If you do not have a good home environment to return to, then a halfway house may be recommended (as in halfway between rehab and home).
  • Other recovering substance abusers that are going through the same life struggles, such as making amends with family and friends, job searching, and integrating back into society after rehab typically inhabit halfway houses.
  • However, halfway house residents may relapse, and you must keep this in mind when selecting this route of housing after rehab.
• For all recovering marijuana abusers, continued counseling and psychosocial therapy is strongly recommended (and, depending upon the circumstances that lead up to rehab, may be court-mandated).
  • These services can be sought on an outpatient basis, and may include a Marijuana Anonymous group as well as counseling with a licensed therapist.

How To Pick a Top Marijuana Rehab?

To choose a marijuana rehab center that fits your needs, you must decide on a few things prior to searching.

• First and most importantly, the cost must be assessed.
• Then you must decide how long you want to stay (or need to stay) in rehab to achieve your goals of abstinence and recovery.
• Finally, you must decide what types of amenities you want at your rehab center.
  • For example, some rehab centers allow you to work during the day and return at night.
  • Others provide job training and life skills during residential rehab.
• Make sure to ask if the treatment is individualized to your needs.
  • Will the psychiatric, social and emotional problems be addressed?
• What is the success rate of the facility?
• What types of relapse prevention strategies are administered?
