Marijuana Rehab

Technically known as Cannabis sativa, marijuana comes from the flowers, stems, leaves and seeds of the hemp plant. Perhaps the most heavily monikered drug on the street today, marijuana goes by a number of different nicknames including "Mary Jane," "weed," "pot," "grass," "herb" and "ganja" as well as the many names derived from different types of Cannabis like Northern Lights, skunk, Afghani and more. The forms of ingestion are almost as varied. Though most smoke marijuana like a hand-rolled cigarette or through a bong or pipe, it can also be steeped like tea and then swallowed or eaten with fat-based food. Hash oil is another form of marijuana, one that is concentrated and sticky like resin and this form is almost always smoked.

The most often abused drug in the United States, the active ingredient in marijuana is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, which binds to cannabinoid nerve cells in the brain. Once securely in place, THC triggers a series of cellular reactions that ultimately lead to the high that users experience when they smoke marijuana.

The Canyon offers a comprehensive drug addiction treatment program for those who are solely addicted to marijuana or addicted to the drug in addition to other drugs and/or alcohol.

Marijuana Addiction

Contrary to popular myths, marijuana is not only mentally addictive but physically addictive as well. The cravings for the drug are more than a lack of willpower on the part of the addict but an urge fueled by physical dependence upon THC. This is a medical disease that is as gripping as addiction to any other drug. To effectively stamp it out, it is necessary that the addict and the addict's family take the situation seriously and address it at a drug treatment facility equipped to handle the mental and physical marijuana withdrawal symptoms that will occur during detox. The Canyon is such a place, staffed by Master's level therapists, clinicians and substance abuse treatment specialists who are all well-educated on the nature of marijuana addiction and its treatment.

Effects of Marijuana Addiction

Both in the short-term and the long-term, marijuana is destructive to the body and the mind. While under the influence, marijuana users will find it difficult to concentrate, to motivate and will have difficulty with hand-eye coordination. As use turns into addiction, the user will find that these problems with memory or learning new information will last long after the high is gone. Marijuana addicts have a difficult time keeping up with their responsibilities at work and often lose their jobs. Personal relationships suffer and eventually serious health problems like lung disease; lung, mouth, neck and throat cancer, emphysema and heart disease become issues as well.

Though some effects of marijuana use are irreversible, many fade over time provided you make a clean break from the drug. The Canyon can help you through the difficulties of a marijuana detox and transition into a life of abstinence through a unique treatment personalized to suit the individual on an estate hidden away from the temptations and pressures of home.
