Marijuana Addiction Treatment
Detox
Marijuana is not physically addictive, but can cause psychological dependence, and as a result marijuana dependent users will experience a period of withdrawal symptoms after they stop using the drug. These side effects include feelings of restlessness, anxiety, headaches and insomnia, and it is during this initial period of withdrawal that relapse often occurs.
Ideally, marijuana addicts detox under the supervision of addiction treatment experts, who understand marihuana addiction, and can help an addict to successfully emerge through detox. Marijuana detox programs often combine exercise, good nutrition and saunas, as ways to rid the body of marijuana metabolites, and decrease the severity and length of withdrawal symptoms.

The key to successful marijuana addiction treatment is to learn to live without the drug, and learn to avoid the triggers that lead you to crave it. A treatment center offers an intensive period away from the environment in which the addiction occurred, and by getting away from this environment, an addict has an opportunity to learn how to live without the drug.
