MARIJUANA ADDICTION TREATMENT
At Enterhealth, marijuana treatment plans may include:
Offering a full continuum of care.
Enterhealth Ranch and Enterhealth Outpatient Center of Excellence offer the full continuum of care including residential and outpatient rehab options, both integrated together for the patient’s individual situation. During the residential phase of treatment, patients live at our 43-acre ranch facility while undergoing treatment. Among many other treatments, patients attend addiction recovery therapy sessions that are specialized to each individual’s addiction challenges.
Through therapy and counseling for marijuana addiction, the psychological aspects of dependency can be better understood by the patient. Counseling may be individual or group-oriented, and may also include the family. Continuing care programs are also available, as they are essential to provide counseling and continued support over a number of years.
Addiction is a chronic medical disease of the brain, and while it can be controlled, it’s important to recognize that it cannot be cured, at least at this point. If you or your loved one is concerned that you might have a problem with marijuana, the first step to answering that question is to seek an expert’s advice in the field of addiction.

Is Marijuana Addictive?
Marijuana and its derivatives (such as hashish, concentrates, oils, etc.) are a category of psychoactive drugs from the Cannabis plant. Marijuana is most commonly smoked, but can also be vaporized (heating until the active ingredient is released but plant matter not burned) and consumed in food (edibles).
Despite marijuana’s federal legal status (it’s a Schedule I controlled substance), many states (33 and the District of Columbia at last count) have legalized or decriminalized the possession, use, sale and cultivation of marijuana. In addition, it’s estimated that about 10% of the U.S. population – or about 30 million people – used marijuana in the last year.
Short-term marijuana side effects

- Increased risk of psychosis
- Lung damage – marijuana smoke is 4 times more carcinogenic and deposits 4 times as much tar as a tobacco cigarette.
- Reduced fertility and sexual dysfunction in both men and women due to reduced hormone production
Marijuana withdrawal symptoms
What can I expect?
Marijuana is addictive and does cause physical withdrawal. However, marijuana withdrawal symptoms can often be mild compared to other drugs, leading many users and the public to believe that it is not addictive.
Additionally, depending on the frequency and amount being used, marijuana withdrawal symptoms may not present for up to three weeks after a person stops using because marijuana is stored in fat cells and can take days or weeks to get out of the system. This further muddles the correlation between a person’s use of the drug and their accompanying (but belated) marijuana withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms include:
- Troubled sleep
- Irritability
- Loss of focus
- Impaired body movement
- Anxiety
- Headaches
- Depressive state
