Marijuana Addiction

The most widely used illicit drug in the United States, marijuana is commonly referred to as a gateway drug because it is often the first drug an individual will try before potentially moving to harder substances. At Pavillon, treatment programs for marijuana addiction are designed to break the cycle of addiction, allowing patients to lead productive, healthy lives.

Symptoms of Marijuana Abuse and Addiction

The popularity of marijuana is in part due to the fact that it is relatively inexpensive and easy to obtain. Additionally, many people mistakenly believe that marijuana is not dangerous. However, individuals who become addicted to marijuana can experience the same negative consequences as individuals addicted to harder drugs, including increased tolerance, physical or emotional dependence, and withdrawal symptoms without the drug.

Treatment for Marijuana Addiction

To treat marijuana addiction and build a foundation for sustained recovery, a treatment plan must address the physical, emotional, and psychological components of addiction. At Pavillon, treatment plans for substance abuse disorders such as marijuana addiction typically begin with medical assessment. Ongoing treatment follows the 12-steps and includes individual and group therapy, educational programs, family counseling, relapse prevention, and other therapeutic components. Located near Lake Lure, NC, our private residential facility creates a supportive environment for finding the path to recovery.
