Treatment for Marijuana Addiction Continuing to Grow, California Drug Rehab Sober Living by the Sea Meeting Demand
Often dismissed as nothing more than a recreational drug that poses few
if any long-term effects marijuana use has continued to grow in
popularity, becoming an acceptable practice and referenced in an almost
comical manner in several media outlets. Despite the efforts to
trivialize marijuana the drug presents a number of dangers that if not
addressed could lead to serious problems.
One of the biggest misconceptions about marijuana is that the drug is
non-addictive, something that can be put down without the consequences
of withdrawals. The truth is heavy marijuana use can lead to addiction
and many treatment centers are now offering rehab for
marijuana.
Not unlike traditional drug treatments the treatment for marijuana
addiction
is most effective when carried out by those who understand the power of
addiction. As a Southern California drug and alcohol rehab clinic Sober
Living by the Sea has years of experience in helping drug abusers and
alcohols overcome their addictions.
Sober Living by the Sea offers a marijuana
rehab
treatment that addresses the emotional and mental dependence that is
felt by addicts. Just as abstinence from “harder” drugs can lead to
depression and despondence the same is true of marijuana and failing to
treat these psychological issues can lead to relapse or even worse
abuse of those harder drugs like cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, or crystal
methamphetamine.
Recognizing that treating marijuana addiction can prevent future abuse
of drugs Sober Living by the Sea works hard to address the underlying
emotions that may have contributed to each patient’s addiction. Through
a series of one-on-one and group therapy sessions and
marijuana-specific 12-step meetings these issues can be dealt with and
overcome.
Sober Living by the Sea, just feet from the water in Newport Beach,
also gives each patient a beautiful environment in which to get sober.
With a number of outdoor activities including surfing, soccer,
basketball, swimming and gym excursions every patient has the
opportunity to strengthen their sobriety through physical activity.
Sober Living by the Sea, located
just feet from the waters of Newport Beach, offers a unique recovery
environment for you or your loved one. Established in 1986 to help
recovering alcoholics to live in the community, Sober Living by the Sea
is now one of the largest residential treatment facilities in the
United States, caring for those suffering from all forms of addictive
behavior.
