Marijuana Addiction Treatment
Though many people believe marijuana is a harmless recreational substance, it has significant addictive potential and can lead to severe, multifaceted problems in your life. Celebrate Hope’s comprehensive marijuana addiction treatment program integrates Christian teachings to support your spiritual and emotional healing.
Is Marijuana Addictive?
According to research from Yale Medicine, approximately 10% of people who smoke, vape or ingest cannabis products will become addicted, and 30% of current marijuana users meet the criteria for addiction.
People who begin using cannabis before age 18 are four to seven times more likely to develop a marijuana use disorder than adults. Evidence also suggests that genetic and environmental factors can increase people’s likelihood of becoming addicted.
Psychological and Health Consequences
Marijuana affects brain function and chemistry, leading to various short-term and long-term effects. Psychologically, high-THC strains can cause symptoms of schizophrenia like hallucinations and paranoia. Chronic use may increase your risk of experiencing mental health issues, including depression and anxiety disorders.
Physically, marijuana use often leads to respiratory problems, altered heart rate and potential interference with prescribed medications. Furthermore, its impact extends to cognitive impairment, reducing people’s ability to focus, learn and perform complex tasks.
Marijuana addiction can also strain your family dynamics, friendships and professional relationships. The behavioral changes and emotional instability resulting from chronic use will eventually lead to misunderstandings, conflicts and isolation.
Marijuana Withdrawal and Addiction
Long-term marijuana use changes brain chemistry. When trying to quit, you may experience withdrawal resulting from your brain’s struggle to achieve equilibrium.
Marijuana withdrawal symptoms can vary in intensity.
- Irritability, mood and sleep difficulties
- Decreased appetite, which can lead to weight loss
- Restlessness
- Physical discomfort
- Cravings for marijuana
