Marijuana Addiction Treatment
Wondering whether marijuana use has crossed into something harder to control? At Dunham Institute, we treat marijuana addiction with evidence-based care that follows you or your loved one from safe medical detox through structured therapy and long-term aftercare. The right support starts with one honest conversation.
How Dunham Institute Treats Marijuana Addiction
Wondering whether marijuana use actually needs treatment, or whether you or your loved one can just stop? For many people, stopping is harder than expected. It starts with a clinical assessment that determines the right level of care, because the answer isn't the same for everyone.
Marijuana withdrawal is rarely dangerous, but it's real: irritability, sleep problems, appetite changes, and cravings that pull people back. When withdrawal management helps, medical support makes those early days easier to get through.
From there, care moves into residential programming or a flexible outpatient schedule, depending on your needs and responsibilities. If anxiety, depression, or another mental health condition is part of the picture, we treat it alongside the addiction, not as a separate problem.
Therapies We Use
Wondering what treatment actually looks like day to day? Your care plan combines proven approaches built around your needs. That means cognitive behavioral therapy to change harmful thought patterns, group therapy for shared accountability, and family support so the people who care about you understand the process. When clinically appropriate, we add medication-assisted treatment. One coordinated plan, adjusted as your loved one progresses.
