Marijuana Addiction Treatment
Long-term marijuana use can leave you irritable, sleepless, and unable to stop even when you want to. At Merritt Recovery, treatment moves from safe medical detox through counseling and long-term aftercare, matched to what you or your loved one actually needs at each step.
How Merritt Recovery Treats Marijuana Addiction
Marijuana dependence is real, and the physical and psychological patterns it creates deserve careful attention. Treatment at Merritt Recovery starts with a clinical assessment that identifies how heavily cannabis has been used, whether other substances or mental health conditions are present, and what level of care fits you or your loved one.
Some people who stop after prolonged heavy use experience withdrawal: irritability, sleep disruption, appetite changes, and restlessness. When symptoms warrant it, medically supervised detox keeps that period safe and manageable. From there, care moves into residential treatment or a structured intensive outpatient program. When anxiety or depression sits alongside the addiction, we treat both together, in the same plan.
Therapies We Use
No two people arrive with the same history, so each care plan is built from the therapies that fit the diagnosis in front of us. That usually means individual sessions grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, the shared accountability of group therapy, and family support for the people closest to you. When it is clinically appropriate, medication-assisted treatment is added to steady the process.
