Our Marijuana Detox Program in Atlanta, GA

Like other substance addictions, marijuana use disorder (MUD) is best treated by a period of detoxification followed by therapy. Detoxification, or detox, is different for marijuana than many other substances.

THC, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana. It has a longer half-life than other substances. Half-life refers to the time it takes for the drug to reduce by half in the body. THC can take several days to weeks for it to be eliminated from the body, which makes its detox process longer.

Marijuana detox can be unpleasant as your body works through withdrawal symptoms. However, your care team will have options to make you more comfortable. Mild prescriptions or over-the-counter medications may treat some symptoms, while therapies may help to alleviate others. If you detox at home, only take medicine that your care team has approved. Commercial “detox kits” are available but should only be used if recommended by your provider.

Be sure to drink plenty of water and eat balanced, nutritious meals. Your care team may recommend vitamins or specific food/liquids to ease symptoms. Initial detox usually lasts no more than one week. It is also critical to tell your provider about any medications you are taking and any preexisting conditions, including known mental health disorders. Your provider may also ask about your current living situation.

Marijuana Detox Services

Along with amenities to enhance your stay, our drug, and mental health clinician team wants you to explore learning about addiction in an inclusive setting. You can learn more during detox and participate in therapies and rehab programs.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines prescription medications and counseling to help our clients continue their recovery. MAT programs are effective for overcoming addiction and building a recovering lifestyle.

When clients come to us suffering from suicidal ideation and co-occurring substance abuse issues, MAT is a treatment option that can help to ease cravings and reduce the risk of relapsing.

Holistic Therapy

Holistic treatments take a whole-person approach to treating physical, emotional, and spiritual health through various wellness activities. We use several holistic therapy services, including yoga, massage therapy, meditation, outdoor activities, chiropractic care, nutrition, fitness, and art.

Family Program

Family Program participation helps get all those directly involved in family therapy. It’s beneficial for you or your loved one to heal from the relational wounds that addiction can cause. In combination with individual therapy, these group therapy sessions teach appropriate boundaries, conflict resolution, and how to set up support structures. You may stay at a sober living facility at night, especially during the first stages of treatment, so those support structures must be in place early on.

Relapse Prevention

Relapse Prevention allows you to return to the beginning of your prevention plan. When structuring your plan, make it as simple as possible. Don’t overcommit yourself. Instead, pick one kind of aftercare. Commit to that one. Eventually, you’ll find that you’ve attended consistently for a month. Once your assistance becomes consistent, you can consider implementing other aftercare options.

The Next Step After Marijuana Detox

Marijuana is not generally considered as dangerous as other categories of drugs. However, this substance can be addictive, and individuals can develop a dependency. Those wishing to quit may need help from a rehab center addressing marijuana addiction treatment.

An outpatient detox program may be recommended since MUD detox is generally not life-threatening. This allows the patient to rid the body of THC from the comfort of a home or a sober living facility. Our team can help you decide what options are best for your situation.

Along with our medical detox, we offer residential or inpatient treatment, allowing our clients to transition from highly supervised medical detox into a more long-term program with exciting therapies and treatments to help them build a substance-free life. Our residential recovery center provides intensive services, round-the-clock care, and connection with people struggling with the same conditions.

Our goal is to lead the way in innovative detoxification services. Suppose residential treatment care is too large of a commitment. In that case, we can help find an outpatient rehab center, intensive outpatient program, sober living, or other behavioral health services and treatment options in the surrounding areas of Atlanta and more.

Stats about Marijuana Addiction in Atlanta, GA

The U.S. has created laws that allow for the legalization of marijuana for medical and recreational purposes in some states. This year, 18 states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational use. Another 37 states have laws for medicinal marijuana.

In 2015, Georgia passed laws to legalize medical marijuana. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the number of people who abuse marijuana increased nearly 40% from 2019 to 2020. And approximately 9% of people who try marijuana develop an addiction. 

Georgia has specific laws depending on the amount of marijuana in a person’s possession. Possession of one ounce or less of marijuana is a misdemeanor. Individuals may receive up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. More time is added for every ounce after that, with a max of 10 years.

Do I Really Need Detox?

If you are currently using marijuana and want to stop, the first step to successful recovery is deciding to pursue it. Unlike some substances, marijuana withdrawal is usually not dangerous or life-threatening, but seeking help is still your best option for a successful recovery.

Many patients find that treatment offers a better long-term path to success. Addiction is often about more than just the physical symptoms. There may be emotional or psychological reasons you feel the need to use.

That is where our team comes in. Drug addiction is a complex medical issue, not a moral failure. You are not at fault and deserve the best care to help you experience the best life.
