Marijuana Treatment in San Antonio, TX — New Day Recovery Services

What Is Marijuana Addiction?

Studies published by NIDA found that 30% of people who use marijuana may have a marijuana use disorder and that those who begin using the substance before the age of 18 are up to seven percent more likely to develop an addiction in adulthood.

You may have become addicted to marijuana if you have:

• Withdrawal symptoms such as irritability or anxiety

• An increase in tolerance

• Lost interest in activities you once enjoyed

• Poor performance at work or school due to marijuana use

• Spent a lot of time and money getting, using or recovering from marijuana

• Suffered legal consequences related to marijuana but still use it

If marijuana use is making it difficult to meet your personal goals, or if you are unable to stop using it even though you want to, you might benefit from marijuana abuse treatment.

What Are the Top Treatments for Marijuana Addiction?

Residential and outpatient programs are recommended for marijuana treatment. Three of the most commonly used behavioral therapies for addiction are:

• Contingency Management: Therapy based on a voucher system and rewards for abstinence

• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: Therapy that seeks to change negative patterns of thinking and behaving

• Motivational Enhancement Therapy: Therapy that increases the motivation for change

In some cases, prescribers may also include medications to minimize withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings in treatment. 

Why Should You Get Marijuana Treatment in San Antonio?

Some of the potential benefits of marijuana treatment include:

• Restored mental capacity 

• Improved performance at work or school

• Better health overall

• Improved finances

• Freedom from drug cravings and withdrawal effects

• Rejuvenated interest in new or old favorite activities

• More energy

• Improved relationships with friends and family members

People who are using marijuana as a method of self-medication also receive the benefit of getting treatment for underlying conditions. Having more than one mental health disorder is referred to as a co-occurring condition. 

When a co-occurring condition is diagnosed, a comprehensive marijuana treatment program should include appropriate treatment to address all mental health concerns. 

What Is the Difference Between Inpatient and Outpatient Marijuana Treatment?

Inpatient marijuana addiction treatment requires patients to live in a hospital or residential setting while they receive treatment, typically for 30 to 90 days. Outpatient treatment requires patients to participate in treatment during designated daytime hours and return home at the end of the day. 

New Day Recovery Services also provides sober living options for those who need assisted living help. Both treatment options help patients modify their behaviors and develop the skills they need to remain sober. 

Outpatient treatment may be used as a stand-alone program or a step-down program for those who have completed residential treatment and need additional support.
