California Marijuana Rehab Centers: What to Expect

The problem with marijuana addiction is that so many don't take the drug seriously. The myth is that marijuana is not physically addictive, that no physical harm can come from indulging in the drug on a regular basis. Unfortunately, these misunderstandings couldn't be further from the truth. Marijuana is a serious drug of addiction and regular use and abuse of the drug leads to physical and mental dependence upon THC, the active component in the marijuana plant. In order to safely and fully break this addiction, it is important to find a marijuana rehab center and California is an excellent place to undergo marijuana rehab.

The Canyon is a marijuana rehab center that is located just outside of Beverly Hills, tucked away in the Santa Monica Mountains. With idyllic views and a spa-like atmosphere, our rehab facility is a celebrity establishment that caters to the needs of those struggling with co-occurring disorders.

California Marijuana Rehab Centers: Detox

The first step in any marijuana rehab center is detox. When your body is physically dependent upon marijuana, you must first break that physical addiction before you can attend to the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the disease. However, it is important to note that even after the acute withdrawal symptoms subside, marijuana detox is not abandoned. Rather, a physical detox continues throughout the course of the marijuana addiction treatment via bodywork, yoga and meditation and organic, nutritional meals designed to replenish the vitamins and minerals that drug use depleted.

California Marijuana Rehab Centers: Treatment

Marijuana addiction treatment in a California marijuana rehab center directly follows the acute detox period. Slowly, as you feel ready, you will be able to sit in on group meetings, attend your own one-on-one therapy sessions and experiment with the wide range of therapeutic treatments available at The Canyon: equine-assisted therapy, ropes and adventure therapy, art therapy and more. As you progress through treatment, you will meet with your therapist regularly and assess your growth and needs, changing your treatment plan and goals as necessary.

California Marijuana Rehab Centers: Aftercare and Sober Living

Once you've completed marijuana rehab, you may feel ready to return home with your new arsenal of emotional tools for dealing with your drug addiction. It's one of the most important features of an effective California marijuana rehab center that you not make that transition completely on your own. Aftercare provides you with the support you need to make your homecoming a clean and sober occasion that lasts.

In other cases, however, at the end of an inpatient stay at a marijuana rehab center, you may not need intensive treatment any longer but you may feel like you would benefit from remaining in safe surroundings for a little while longer. In this case, sober living facilities like those offered at The Canyon allows you to make the transition back into "the real world" at your own pace, rushing nothing.
