OUR MARIJUANA ADDICTION TREATMENT PROGRAM

Our program is tailored to support individuals struggling with marijuana misuse or dependency, especially those experiencing anxiety, isolation, or difficulty functioning without the drug. Through personalized treatment plans, experiential therapies, and mental health support, we help clients explore the root causes of their use and build lasting recovery strategies. We offer both in-person and virtual outpatient services to meet you where you are, physically and emotionally – for adults and adolescents.

WHAT IS MARIJUANA ADDICTION?

Marijuana addiction, also known as Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD), occurs when someone cannot stop using marijuana even when it’s causing problems in their life. Long-term use can alter brain chemistry, impacting memory, mood, and motivation. Many people use marijuana to cope with stress or trauma, but over time, this can create a cycle of dependence and emotional avoidance.Even though marijuana is legal for recreational or medical use in Montana, legal doesn’t mean risk-free — especially for teens, young adults, or those with mental health concerns.

MARIJUANA USE DISORDER RISKS

Chronic marijuana use has been linked to anxiety, depression, psychosis, and cognitive impairment, particularly when use begins in adolescence. As THC potency has increased dramatically in recent years — with some products exceeding 90% THC — so have the mental health consequences.

Those who use high-potency marijuana daily are more likely to experience addiction, withdrawal symptoms, and difficulty maintaining relationships, work, or school performance.

PSYCHOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT

Marijuana addiction often masks underlying issues like anxiety, trauma, or depression. That’s why our program includes individual therapy, group support, and evidence-based practices like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Motivational Interviewing. These tools help clients develop healthy coping strategies, reduce cravings, and regain control of their thoughts and behaviors.
