Marijuana Addiction Treatment in Los Angeles
Thrive Treatment provides effective marijuana addiction treatment in Los Angeles, combining personalized marijuana rehab and treatment options with addiction treatment programs across the entire continuum of care. With detox and inpatient programs to ongoing outpatient support, as well as treatment for substance use disorders and mental health treatment, we create a treatment plan to address marijuana abuse that can lead to profound, long-term sobriety.
Personalized Marijuana Addiction Treatment in Los Angeles
Regardless of the perceptions and societal acceptance, marijuana is something that you can be addicted to, and as such, can very much necessitate proper and thorough rehab to get over.
Just like any other addiction, the physical dependence is only one part to work on. Equally, if not more importantly, is the mental side of addiction. Marijuana addiction treatment at Thrive Treatment’s rehab center in Santa Monica is all about helping you work through that side of your cannabis use disorder.
Pulling from relational and behavioral methods on top of holistic, medical, and psychiatric interventions, we’ll develop a custom-created rehab program that explores personalized care and your unique needs in substance abuse treatment. With an emphasis on psychotherapy or talk therapy, you’ll be going through individual and group therapy sessions with master’s-level clinicians to really peel back the layers and find the why of your dependence on marijuana.

How Our Treatment Center Stands Out for Marijuana Addiction Recovery
With social acceptance and public opinion at an all-time high in our lifetimes, the normalization of marijuana use allows problem use and addiction to seemingly blend into the noise of casual users. Much like how alcoholism and alcohol use disorder happen right in front of our societal noses, so too does marijuana addiction. Our dedicated treatment center helps challenge these harmful ideas to promote real, sustainable healing, creating personalized programs that address addiction while confronting the factors, environments, and mentalities that may otherwise facilitate further use.

TREATMENT
Our Marijuana Addiction Treatment Services
Comprehensive Continuum of Care
We offer detox and residential treatment to help you begin your healing journey. These first steps are when withdrawal symptoms can be at their most challenging, and detox and residential care ensure that you have support while exploring new lifestyles and overcoming these challenges. Access to a dedicated sober environment also ensures that you have support to prevent falling back into self-destructive routines while building the skills necessary for maintaining your sober life.
Marijuana Withdrawal Symptoms
While not as intense as withdrawal from other drugs like meth or the delirium tremens that severe alcohol withdrawal can bring, stopping the use of marijuana still presents its own challenges.
Most comparable to withdrawal from nicotine, withdrawal from cannabis is characterized more by discomfort than the more intense nature of other drugs. These marijuana withdrawal symptoms may include:
- Difficulty sleeping and insomnia
- Fatigue and restlessness
- Depression
- Anger
- Decreased appetite and possible weight loss
- Irritable, easily agitated, and moody
- Increased levels of anxiety
- Strong cravings for marijuana
Most symptoms begin within 24 to 48 hours of abstinence, peak within 4 to 6 days, and last from 1 to 3 weeks. Detox programs are crucial for navigating these symptoms without returning to drug use.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our partial hospitalization program provides a step down from higher levels of care and is best for those who have completed a residential treatment program and are transitioning to life outside of a curated sober environment, but still benefit from the additional support of a more intense program than outpatient care. Meeting six hours a day, five days a week, this program empowers you to develop practical skills for maintaining your drug-free life outside our walls.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) & Outpatient Treatment
Our outpatient programs continue to support your sober change, even as you establish your daily sober life on your own. These outpatient programs ensure that you have access to a supportive community, empowering you to keep striving for change and new milestones while tending to professional responsibilities and personal goals. With flexible scheduling, we can work with you so you never have to choose between your personal responsibilities, academics, professional life, or needs in healing from addiction.
Understanding Marijuana Addiction
Particularly recently, with sweeping legalization taking place across the country, marijuana use is being perceived as less and less risky.
The nonchalance likely owed to the idea that it’s “just a plant” and natural. Indeed, marijuana is simply the dried leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds from the Cannabis sativa plant. However, the mind-altering psychoactive ingredient, being the THC (delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol), ingested via smoking, vaping, edibles, consuming the resins for a much more intense high (known as “dabs”), etc., still makes it dangerous.
All-natural doesn’t inherently mean all good.
With access to it becoming ever-easier, the questions of safety, whether legalization is the “right” thing to do, and more come up. The debate doesn’t offer very many obvious and unambiguous answers, but one thing is abundantly clear: we have a storied and checkered history with marijuana, and it is a substance that you can have problem usage with, dependency on, and addiction to.
It’s been vilified as an evil and a gateway drug and praised as a cash crop and for its medicinal value. It was legal for over a century in the United States before regulation started in the early 1900s, leading to the Marihuana Tax Act in 1937, which essentially criminalized it nationwide. More draconian and harsh punishments followed.
So, what’s the truth?
As with all controversial topics, the truth of the matter is elusive somewhere in the middle, in the grey area, but what’s known definitively is that marijuana use disorder is a very real thing. Not only that, but it’s often left untreated, with only 7% of people with past-year marijuana use disorder receiving any marijuana-specific treatment.
With roughly 22.2 million people using marijuana each month, it’s the most commonly used illegal drug in the country (states are indeed legalizing it, but it remains illegal on the federal level). Additionally, over 1/3rd of high school seniors, 35.2%, have used marijuana in the past year.
It is estimated that 1 in 10 people who use marijuana will become addicted. However, when use starts before the age of 18, the rate of addiction rises to 1 in 6.
Realizing how utterly widespread the use is illustrates just how few people get adequate and appropriate treatment.
As for the idea of marijuana being a gateway drug, as loudly as that drum has been beaten, it’s still somewhat inconclusive. However, it’s been established that the majority of people who use marijuana do not go on to use harder substances.
Signs You May Need Marijuana Addiction Treatment
While not necessarily the first thing that pops into someone’s mind in terms of an addictive substance, marijuana can, without a doubt, hook you. The evidence and research are so conclusive to that end that the symptoms of cannabis use disorder are defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the holy grail and gold standard used to diagnose mental health disorders.
Common symptoms of addiction to marijuana are:
- Inability to cut back on usage, even when sincerely trying to
- Taking more than intended
- Spending a disproportionate amount of time on activities related to getting, using, and recovering from marijuana
- Issues at work, school, or home, and flaking on responsibilities
- Problems with relationships related to cannabis use
- Strong and persistent cravings
- Missing or skipping activities you once cared about to use marijuana
- Taking cannabis in ever-riskier situations, like while driving
- Building a tolerance so you have to consume more marijuana to achieve the same highs as before
- Using despite the clear issues it’s creating
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using or taking marijuana specifically to avoid withdrawal
Additional signs of use and abuse are:
- Bloodshot eyes
- Lack of motivation
- Increased appetite
- Slow reaction and poor coordination
- Dry mouth
- Memory getting worse and worsening judgment
- Weight gain
- Paranoid behavior and anxiety
While there is almost no risk of overdosing on marijuana, there is a notable increase in emergency room visits for those who use cannabis. Moreover, the long-term effects of consistent use have been linked to a higher possibility of psychosis or schizophrenia in some users, as well as:
- Hallucinations
- Paranoia
- Respiratory problems if you smoke it
- Problems with brain development
- Reproductive issues during and after pregnancy
Early Intervention Matters
Addiction is a disease that continues to impact physical health, mental health, and daily life. Addressing early signs of addiction is paramount to enacting change before more consequences arise. Working with professionals to identify signs of marijuana addiction and the role that supports can play in early intervention can ensure that each person receives care before worsening symptoms affect daily life.
Enhancing Recovery Beyond Therapy
Recovery is a lifelong journey, and not something that is traditionally “completed.” Rather, it is a constant journey of adjustments, changes, milestones, and challenges. Thrive Treatment goes beyond traditional therapy to empower long-term change. This includes services like:
- Recovery coaching and accountability
- Transitional living with The Last House
- In-home and concierge services
- Intensive family program
