What Is Marijuana Addiction?

 

Marijuana is a psychoactive drug derived from the cannabis plant, commonly used recreationally for its relaxing and euphoric effects.

It affects the brain by interacting with cannabinoid receptors, altering mood, perception, and cognition. While marijuana can temporarily relieve stress or promote relaxation, frequent or heavy use can lead to tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms.

Long-term use may also contribute to memory and concentration problems, mood changes, and difficulties in daily life.


 

Why Do People Become Addicted to Marijuana?


Marijuana addiction can develop gradually and often unintentionally. Some individuals use it socially or to cope with stress, anxiety, or other emotional challenges.

Over time, the brain adapts to the effects of marijuana, and higher amounts or more frequent use may be needed to achieve the same relaxing or euphoric effects.

When use is reduced or stopped, withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, sleep disturbances, or cravings may occur, reinforcing continued use and dependence.

Factors that may contribute include:

 
  • Frequent or heavy marijuana use
  • Stress, anxiety, or unresolved emotional trauma
  • Co-occurring mental health disorders

Signs You May Need Marijuana Addiction Treatment


Marijuana addiction can impact every part of life—physical and mental health, relationships, finances, and overall well-being. If you or someone you care about is struggling, here are some common warning signs to look for:
 
  • Needing to use more marijuana or use it more frequently to achieve the same relaxing or euphoric effect (growing tolerance)
  • Strong cravings or irritability when use is reduced or stopped
  • Spending excessive time obtaining or using marijuana
     
If these signs sound familiar, Valley Wellness is here to help.

Marijuana Addiction Treatments
You Can Expect


At Valley Wellness, our marijuana addiction treatment programs are designed to address the unique needs of each individual. We provide a comprehensive, personalized approach that combines medical care, therapy, and holistic support to promote long-term recovery. Our services may include:
 

Medical Detox

Marijuana withdrawal can be physically and psychologically challenging. Our medically supervised detox program ensures a safe and comfortable process, managing withdrawal symptoms with professional care and, when appropriate, FDA-approved medications such as buprenorphine or methadone to reduce cravings and ease the transition to recovery.
 

Individual Therapy

Personalized one-on-one therapy helps clients uncover underlying causes of addiction, including trauma, mental health issues, and behavioral patterns. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), we help clients develop healthy coping strategies and rebuild a strong sense of self.
 

Group Therapy

Group sessions provide a supportive environment where clients can share experiences, gain encouragement, and learn practical skills from peers facing similar challenges. Topics often include relapse prevention, stress management, and strategies for maintaining sobriety in real-world situations.
 

Family Therapy

Marijuana addiction affects not just the individual, but the entire family. Family therapy sessions help repair relationships, rebuild trust, and educate loved ones about addiction, recovery, and ways to support their family member’s healing journey.
 

Holistic & Wellness Support

Recovery is not just about stopping substance use—it’s about restoring overall health and well-being. Our programs incorporate holistic treatments such as mindfulness meditation, yoga, fitness programs, nutrition planning, massage therapy, art therapy, and other wellness-focused activities to strengthen both mind and body.
 

Aftercare & Continuing Support

Recovery is an ongoing process. We provide comprehensive aftercare planning, including outpatient therapy, support groups, relapse prevention strategies, and access to community resources, ensuring clients maintain progress and continue to thrive long after leaving our program.


Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

For clients struggling with severe opioid dependence, MAT combines medications like methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone with counseling and behavioral therapies. This evidence-based approach reduces cravings, lowers relapse risk, and supports sustainable recovery.
 

Dual Diagnosis Support

Many clients battling prescription drug addiction also experience co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Our dual diagnosis treatment integrates mental health care with addiction recovery to address both conditions simultaneously for more effective outcomes.
