Marijuana Detoxification and Addiction Treatment

Half Image Thumbnail

Marijuana is a plant that contains cannabinoids, a chemical that drives the euphoria people experience. The primary component of marijuana is THC, a chemical that increases dopamine levels in the brain and affects the brain’s reward center. Marijuana can be used in many forms, including smoking, vaping and edibles.

Many individuals start taking marijuana for its relaxing and pleasurable effects. However, it can be easy for individuals to become dependent on the drug with regular use. The brain can adapt to the presence of THC and requires higher doses to achieve the same effect. The brain can become dependent on marijuana and may not be able to function without it, leading individuals to develop an addiction.

Diamond House Detox exists to help individuals struggling with marijuana addiction through a safe recovery. Together, we will tailor a treatment plan according to your needs so you can live a life free from your challenges.

Understanding Dual Diagnosis and Treating Co-Occurring Disorders

At Diamond House Detox, we prioritize managing mental health conditions and substance use disorders together. In many cases, these conditions come hand in hand and may be the reason for substance use in the first place. One can worsen the other, with mental health conditions leading to substances, and substances can worsen mental health symptoms, creating a vicious cycle.

Our team of clinical and therapeutic professionals will help you identify triggers and get to the root of substance use. Recognizing and addressing the challenges that led you to marijuana can help break the cycle and promote more effective treatment.

Safely Detox From Marijuana at Diamond House Detox

Whether you’re seeking inpatient rehab for marijuana in Sacramento or just weed detoxification, Diamond House Detox offers a wide range of rehabilitation and detoxification services to help you on your road to recovery. We also provide outpatient marijuana addiction treatment for clients unable to attend a residential program due to work, family or personal responsibilities at home.

We offer several therapy treatments, including:

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you rewire the way you think and stop negative thoughts before they take over. This therapy teaches you about your way of thinking and teaches you skills to think and act in more positive ways.

Art therapy

Verbally processing triggers and past traumas and physically recovering from addiction can be hard work, which is why we offer art therapy alongside talk therapy. Art therapy allows you to process your emotions non-verbally and lends itself to the mindfulness your brain needs to recover.

Trauma therapy

Since many substance abuse disorders are side effects of trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), we provide trauma therapy to help clients overcome their past traumas and find healthier coping mechanisms.

Outpatient Marijuana Rehab

Outpatient rehab at Diamond House Detox allows clients to acquire all the benefits of our residential treatment. The difference? You go home at night. Some people can’t take time away from work and other responsibilities. Others have families. Outpatient marijuana addiction treatment gives you the flexibility to find health and healing on your schedule.

Our outpatient treatment focuses on the same core objectives as an inpatient program — withdrawal management, coping skills and relapse prevention. The difference is where you lay your head. Outpatient programs allow clients to return home every evening. 

Depending on your level of need, we may recommend one of the following outpatient programs:

  • Outpatient detox: With outpatient detox, we walk you through marijuana withdrawal symptoms and provide support as your body cleanses itself. We provide medical care and oversight but allow you to return home each evening. 
  • Intensive outpatient program (IOP): Our IOP treatment focuses on coping and relapse prevention strategies. Three to four days per week and three-hour sessions provide structure and consistent care. 
  • Partial hospitalization program (PHP): Our partial hospitalization program is an option for those more at risk of relapse. This marijuana treatment program has a focused schedule that includes medical services and other addiction treatment programming while still allowing you the support of your home and family. 
  • Marijuana addiction support groups: Walk alongside those who know your struggles and understand the pull of addiction. We host various support groups for our residential and outpatient clients.

FAQs About Marijuana Addiction and Treatment

Marijuana’s addictiveness can vary from person to person. In some states, it is legal for clinical use and is deemed less addictive than substances like heroin or cocaine — however, it can still lead to addiction, especially after regular, long-term use. Around 22%-30% of people who begin smoking marijuana will become addicted.

Some people are more prone to addiction than others. Genetics, environment, mental health conditions and your age of first use are all factors that can contribute to the likelihood of developing a marijuana addiction.

Heavy or chronic marijuana use involves frequent, high-dose consumption over a long period. Daily or near-daily use is generally considered heavy, while long-term consistent use, regardless of specific frequency, describes chronic marijuana use.

There isn’t a specific amount of marijuana that defines heavy use, and it’s more related to frequency and consistency. Marijuana’s impact on a person’s life is also a key factor — if marijuana is causing problems in their life — including work, school, relationships, health or finances — their use is likely considered heavy or problematic.

Marijuana addiction is typically diagnosed when someone exhibits a pattern of heavy or chronic marijuana use, leading to significant impairment or distress. Mental health professionals use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) criteria to compare to an individual’s unique situation.

The first step to recovery from marijuana is recognizing that a change needs to be made. A detox for marijuana will vary by case but will often include a tapering schedule to safely reduce the marijuana in your system. At Diamond House Detox, we walk alongside you in your journey and celebrate the small wins along the way. Our recovery methods include medically monitored detoxification, medication-assisted treatment and regular individual and group therapy sessions.

A single medication to treat marijuana addiction does not yet exist. However, Diamond House Detox will provide a personalized tapering schedule to slowly get you off of marijuana and manage withdrawal symptoms. We have also found it effective to treat co-occurring mental health disorders with medication to ease the recovery process.

Signs and Symptoms of Marijuana Use Disorder

Quitting marijuana after heavy, regular use can surface withdrawal symptoms within one to two days. These uncomfortable symptoms are what drive many people to relapse, which is why professional help for marijuana addiction treatment is so important.
Some signs and symptoms of marijuana use disorder include:

  • Irritability, anger or aggression
  • Anxiety or nervousness
  • Sleeping difficulties
  • Decreased appetite or weight loss
  • Depressed mood
  • Reduced social, occupational or recreational activities
  • Thoughts consistently directed toward marijuana use
