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. GET INFORMATIONMARIJUANA USE DISORDER RISKSChronic 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.

Our equine-assisted therapy program is designed to support trauma survivors on their journey to recovery, offering a serene and supportive environment where individuals can safely work through their pain.

Cocaine changes the neurons in the brain, which cause people to develop a tolerance to this substance. This means more cocaine is needed to produce the same effects your body and mind crave, so higher doses of cocaine are taken, increasing dependence. Higher doses not only lead to greater cocaine dependence but also the destruction of quality of life, along with other alarming risks.

For teens struggling with mental health issues, trauma, or substance use, traditional therapy settings can sometimes feel intimidating, ineffective, or simply disconnected from their world. That’s why Summer Experiential Therapy for Teens at BIG SKY Treatment offers something different—something deeply human, creative, and empowering. When you take therapy outside the four walls of a clinic and place it in the natural rhythm of summer, transformation becomes possible. Through engaging, hands-on activities such as equine-assisted therapy, music therapy, art, and nature-based experiences, teens can access healing in a way that feels both authentic and relevant. What Is Experiential Therapy? Experiential therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses active participation and real-life experiences as vehicles for emotional growth and self-discovery. Unlike traditional talk therapy—which often relies solely on verbal communication—experiential therapy invites teens to express themselves, problem-solve, and explore their inner world through action-based modalities. At BIG SKY Treatment, this approach is customized specifically for adolescents, integrating clinical goals with creative, physical, and emotional experiences that help teens reconnect—with themselves, their families, and their future. Why Summer Matters for Teen Mental Health The summer season offers a unique window of opportunity for therapeutic intervention. Without the stressors of school, academic performance, and peer pressure, teens are more open to personal reflection and emotional growth. Summer also brings flexibility, making it easier for families to commit to outpatient programs that fit into their schedule without disrupting education. BIG SKY’s Adolescent Outpatient Programs are... --- > Explore how boredom & risky behavior in teens is more common during summer & how structured support in BIG SKY Treatment’s outpatient programs offer a path forward. - Published: 2025-07-05 - Modified: 2025-07-23 - URL: https://bigskytreatment.com/resources/boredom-and-risky-behavior-in-teens/ Summer is often seen as a break from the pressures of school—a time for fun, freedom, and rest. But for many teenagers, unstructured time can also become a source of emotional discomfort, boredom, and impulsive decision-making. Without the daily routines and external expectations that shape the school year, teens can quickly find themselves adrift, seeking stimulation in ways that can become dangerous. At BIG SKY Treatment, we understand the powerful connection between boredom & risky behavior in teens, especially during the summer months. Whether it’s experimenting with substances, engaging in unsafe sexual activity, or turning to self-harm as a coping mechanism, these behaviors often stem from emotional pain, unmet needs, or a desperate search for meaning and connection. The good news? With the right support, this vulnerable season can also become a time of growth, healing, and empowerment. Understanding the Link Between Boredom & Risky Behavior in Teens Boredom isn’t just “having nothing to do. ” For teens, it can represent a deeper sense of restlessness, emotional disconnection, or lack of purpose. Adolescents are wired for stimulation, novelty, and belonging. When they don’t find these through healthy means, they may start looking for them in unhealthy places. Risky behaviors that can stem from prolonged boredom include: Substance experimentation (alcohol, cannabis, vaping, pills) Unsafe sexual activity Excessive screen time, gaming, or social media exposure Defiance, thrill-seeking, or boundary-pushing Cutting or other forms of self-harm While some of these behaviors may appear impulsive or rebellious, they’re often attempts to manage stress, numb... --- > Explore how peer pressure and social stress impact teen substance use.

At BIG SKY Treatment, we’ve seen how peer dynamics and social stress can play a significant role in adolescent substance use. Whether it’s the desire to fit in, peer pressure, cope with anxiety, or escape emotional overwhelm, teens are often caught between wanting connection and needing coping skills they haven't yet developed. Understanding these pressures is key to prevention and early intervention. The Pressure to Fit In: Why Peer Influence Hits Hard in the Teen Years It’s no secret that peer pressure is a major driver of teen behavior—but the link between peer influence and substance use runs deeper than occasional experimentation. As the Mayo Clinic notes, teens are particularly vulnerable because of where they are developmentally: their brains are still maturing, particularly in areas that govern judgment and impulse control. This makes them: More prone to risky behavior Eager to avoid social rejection Highly sensitive to peer approval and image When these factors collide with access to marijuana, synthetic THC, or alcohol, the result is often more than just a “phase. ” Read more on how synthetic cannabinoids affect teens differently—and dangerously. Stress, Anxiety, and the Silent Triggers Behind Teen Drug Use Today’s teens are navigating stressors previous generations couldn’t have imagined—cyberbullying, academic pressure, social media comparison, and 24/7 connectivity. Stress is a growing reason why teens are reaching for substances in the first place.

Continue reading to learn more about Virtual vs. In-Person Addiction Treatment this summer. Understanding the Differences: Virtual vs. In-Person Treatment The core difference between virtual and in-person treatment comes down to how the services are delivered, not the quality of care. Both are evidence-based, structured approaches that can include individual therapy, group sessions, and recovery planning—the delivery method just changes the setting. Virtual IOP: Flexibility Without Compromise Our Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for adults only and offers the same high-level therapeutic support as our in-person program—but with the flexibility to participate from home. This option is ideal for those who: Have work, family, or school obligations Prefer privacy and reduced travel Live in rural areas or have transportation challenges BIG SKY’s virtual services are available to adults in Montana, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Alabama, and Colorado—thanks to licensure held by our experienced clinical leadership team.

The stages of change model – also known as the transtheoretical model – breaks down the journey of overcoming addiction to drugs or alcohol into clear steps. This framework helps individuals, families, and professionals recognize where someone is in their recovery process and determine the most effective way to support them. At BIG SKY Treatment, we believe in meeting clients where they are. By providing personalized, evidence-based care in a supportive environment, we tailor treatment plans to each individual’s readiness for change. In this guide, we’ll explore what the 5 stages of change are, why they matter in addiction treatment, and how BIG SKY Treatment integrates this model into personalized addiction recovery plans. What Are the 5 Stages of Change in Addiction Recovery? The “stages of change” model is a way of describing the process people go through when modifying addictive behaviors. Originally developed by Prochaska and DiClemente, it outlines a sequence of five main stages that individuals typically cycle through on the path to recovery. These stages can apply to any behavior change, but they are most well-known for addiction recovery. In reality, change is not always linear – people might move back and forth between stages, or experience relapse as part of the journey. Below, we break down the 5 stages of change (sometimes expanded to 6 to include relapse or a final “termination” stage) and what each means for someone struggling with substance use: 1. Precontemplation – Not... --- > Learn the risks, differences, and dangers of Synthetic Cannabinoids & Synthetic THC—plus how BIG SKY Treatment helps with recovery and healing. - Published: 2025-03-15 - Modified: 2025-07-10 - URL: https://bigskytreatment.com/resources/synthetic-cannabinoids-and-synthetic-thc/ As synthetic drugs continue to evolve, more and more people are turning to substances that seem “legal” or “natural” — but in reality, are far from safe. Two of the most commonly misunderstood categories are synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic THC. While both are designed to mimic the effects of marijuana, they differ significantly in how they’re made, how they work in the body, and the risks they pose. From gas station gummies to potent street blends like Spice and K2, these substances are gaining popularity — and raising concern. At BIG SKY Treatment, we help individuals and families navigate the real dangers behind synthetic drug use. In this post, we break it all down so you can understand the facts and make informed choices. What Are Synthetic Cannabinoids? Synthetic cannabinoids are man-made chemicals that target the same brain receptors as THC — but that’s where the similarity ends. These compounds are often sprayed onto dried plant material and smoked, or sold as liquids for vapes. They go by names like Spice, K2, Scooby Snax, or Black Mamba, and are frequently labeled as “herbal incense” or “not for human consumption” — a tactic to avoid regulation. The danger? Synthetic cannabinoids can be 50 to 100 times more potent than natural THC, and their effects are wildly unpredictable. People have experienced hallucinations, seizures, psychosis, heart attacks, and even death after using them. What Is Synthetic THC? Synthetic THC refers to lab-created versions of THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis. Some forms, like... --- > Battling benzo withdrawal? Learn about symptoms, timelines, and effective coping strategies. Find expert support and reclaim your life. - Published: 2025-01-29 - Modified: 2025-07-10 - URL: https://bigskytreatment.com/resources/benzo-withdrawal-symptoms/ It starts subtly. Maybe you're a little more irritable, your sleep is off, and you can't quite shake this feeling of unease. You might not even realize it at first, but these could be the early signs of benzodiazepine withdrawal. While these medications are often prescribed for anxiety and insomnia, the path to stopping them can be surprisingly difficult. Many individuals find themselves facing a range of unexpected and often debilitating withdrawal symptoms, leaving them feeling trapped and alone. But you're not alone. Understanding benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome is the first step to reclaiming your life, and with the right support and guidance, recovery is possible. Understanding the Mechanisms: What is Benzo Withdrawal? Benzodiazepines, commonly known as benzos, are a class of medications that work by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) in the brain. Some of the more commonly used and abused Benzos include Valium® (Diazepam), Xanax® (Alprazolam), Halcion® (Triazolam), Ativan® (Lorazepam), and Klonopin (Clonazepam). They can create a calming effect in the brain, making them helpful in managing conditions like anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and insomnia. However, with prolonged use, the brain adapts to the presence of these drugs, leading to dependence. This means that when you try to stop taking benzos, your brain struggles to function normally without them, resulting in withdrawal. Essentially, benzo withdrawal occurs because your brain has become accustomed to the presence of the medication to maintain balance. When you reduce or stop your dose, this delicate balance is disrupted. This... --- > Staying sober during the holidays can be tough. Discover practical tips, resources, and support for navigating triggers and maintaining sobriety this season. - Published: 2024-12-23 - Modified: 2025-07-10 - URL: https://bigskytreatment.com/resources/staying-sober-during-the-holidays/ The holidays are a time for twinkling lights, festive gatherings, and heartwarming traditions. But for those in recovery, this season can be incredibly challenging. While joy and connection fill the air, so do potential triggers. From alcohol-centric festivities and complex family dynamics to the increased risk of isolation, the holidays can test even the strongest resolve. This is particularly true in places like Kalispell, Montana, where the abundance of easily accessible alcohol can amplify the struggle. With a high density of liquor stores – nearly one for every 10 residents – and the added presence of video game casinos, navigating sobriety during the holidays requires extra vigilance. This guide, brought to you by BIG SKY Treatment, provides practical strategies to help you stay on track. We'll explore the season's unique challenges, offer tips to maintain sobriety and prevent relapse, and highlight resources available in Kalispell, from supportive communities to our recovery programs.

Your energy levels have plummeted, your mood is consistently low, and all you want to do is curl up under a blanket and hibernate. You might be tempted to brush it off as a simple case of the "winter blues," but what if it's something more? Could it be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)? Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression that follows a seasonal pattern, typically occurring during the fall and winter months when daylight hours are shorter. It's more than just a fleeting feeling of sadness; SAD can significantly impact your daily life, work, and relationships. In this blog post, we'll explore the differences between the winter blues and SAD, help you recognize the signs that it might be time to seek professional support, and discuss the available treatment options as the holidays approach. Understanding the Winter BluesIt's perfectly normal to feel a little down during the winter months. As the days get shorter and sunlight becomes scarce, many people experience a dip in their mood and energy levels. This is often called the "winter blues" or "winter doldrums. " Common symptoms of the winter blues include: Low energy and fatigue: Feeling tired and sluggish even after a good night's sleep. Mild mood changes: Experiencing sadness, irritability, or a lack of motivation. Increased sleep: Feeling the need to sleep more than usual.

BIG SKY Treatment offers specialized care and support to help them heal and reclaim their lives. - Published: 2024-10-28 - Modified: 2025-07-10 - URL: https://bigskytreatment.com/resources/addiction-treatment-for-veterans-military-members/ Veterans and active military members often carry the weight of extraordinary experiences, including combat exposure, high-pressure environments, and the challenges of transitioning back into civilian life. These experiences can contribute to a higher risk of developing substance use disorders and mental health conditions. At BIG SKY Treatment, we recognize the unique needs of this population and are dedicated to providing specialized care to support their journey to recovery. Seeking treatment early is crucial for long-term success and a return to a healthy, fulfilling life. Why Veterans and Active Military Members Face Unique Addiction ChallengesSeveral factors contribute to the increased risk of substance use disorder among veterans and active military personnel: Stress and Trauma: The intense stress and trauma of combat, deployment, and military life can take a significant toll on mental and emotional well-being. Many individuals turn to substances as a coping mechanism to numb the pain or manage overwhelming emotions. PTSD and Dual Diagnosis: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is prevalent among veterans and often co-occurs with addiction. This dual diagnosis requires integrated treatment that addresses both conditions simultaneously for successful recovery. Mental Health Stigma in the Military: The culture of strength and resilience in the military can sometimes create a barrier to seeking help for mental health concerns. This stigma can lead to self-medication and the development of substance use disorders. Transitioning to Civilian Life: Reintegrating into civilian life after military service presents its own set of challenges. Veterans may struggle with finding purpose, reconnecting with loved ones, and... --- > Discover how healing trauma through experiential therapy can lead to lasting recovery.

It's a chronic and relapsing disease characterized by compulsive alcohol seeking and use despite its harmful consequences. The impact of alcoholism extends far beyond the individual, affecting families, communities, and society as a whole. Understanding the dangers of alcoholism, both in the short and long term is crucial for raising awareness, encouraging prevention, and promoting early intervention. In this blog post, we will explore the immediate risks of excessive alcohol consumption and the chronic health problems that develop over time. We'll also discuss how to recognize the signs of alcoholism and where to find help, including the option of treatment at facilities like BIG SKY Treatment. Understanding AlcoholismAlcoholism is not simply a matter of heavy drinking. It's a complex disorder with various contributing factors, including genetic predisposition, environmental influences, and psychological factors. It's essential to distinguish between alcohol abuse and dependence. Alcohol abuse refers to harmful patterns of alcohol use, while dependence involves physical and psychological reliance on alcohol, often accompanied by withdrawal symptoms when alcohol use stops. Alcoholism exists on a spectrum ranging from mild to severe. Individual drinking patterns, frequency, and other health or mental health conditions influence the severity. Regardless of severity, alcoholism can have devastating consequences on your physical and mental health if left untreated. Short-Term Side Effects of Alcohol ConsumptionEven a single episode of excessive alcohol consumption can have severe and immediate consequences.

However, amidst the adversity, a growing wave of awareness, understanding, and proactive measures are being taken to address this complex issue. It's a public health crisis that demands our attention, but it's also a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of collective action. In recent years, the statistics surrounding opioid overdose deaths have revealed the true extent of the crisis. While these figures serve as a stark reminder of the challenges ahead, they have sparked a nationwide effort to confront the crisis head-on. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that over 70,000 Americans died from drug overdoses in 2021, with the majority involving opioids. ¹ These numbers, while sobering, are a call to action, prompting a surge in research, education, and innovative treatment approaches. In this blog post, we'll explore the opioid epidemic from all angles: its history, causes, and wide-ranging effects. We'll also highlight effective treatment options and prevention strategies that are helping individuals and communities recover.

Imagine having a hidden switch within your genes that could increase your risk of addiction by 50% or more. Would you want to know? It's a question that has haunted families for generations, leaving many to wonder if the struggles of loved ones are written in their DNA. Addiction is a complex and often devastating disease that affects millions worldwide. For decades, the debate has raged: Is addiction genetic inheritance passed down through family lines like eye color or height? Or is it a personal choice shaped by environmental influences and life experiences? As it turns out, the answer is far more nuanced than a simple "nature vs. nurture" dichotomy. The intricate interplay between our genetic makeup and our environment holds the key to unlocking the truth. While it's undeniable that genetics can play a significant role in predisposing individuals to addiction, it's equally important to recognize that environmental factors and personal choices also hold immense power. This blog post explores the complex link between genes and addiction. We'll look at recent scientific findings, identify essential genes, and see how our surroundings can work with our genetic makeup to change our risk of addiction. It's crucial to remember that while genetics may set the stage, our environment and decisions ultimately determine the outcome.

In these cases, both conditions interact and can often exacerbate each other. Additionally, many patients might be dealing with cross-addictions, which arise when an individual transitions from one substance to another or struggles with multiple substances at the same time. The Nature of Cross-AddictionCross-addiction refers to the phenomenon where an individual, already grappling with one substance addiction, develops an addiction to another substance. This typically happens when the addictive behavior transfers from one drug to another, often as a result of attempting to replace or supplement the original substance. Cross-addiction highlights the need for comprehensive addiction treatment that addresses the underlying behavioral patterns of substance abuse, not just the specific substances involved. Addressing Co-Occurring Disorders in TreatmentCo-occurring disorders present a more intricate challenge, as they require a treatment plan that addresses both the addiction and the mental health issue concurrently. At BIG SKY Treatment, our approach to these dual challenges involves integrated therapy that tackles both aspects simultaneously. This method is crucial because treating one condition while neglecting the other can lead to incomplete recovery and a higher risk of relapse. Our treatment plans for co-occurring disorders are holistic, ensuring that both mental... --- > Learn about the physical, mental, and behavioral signs of drug addiction to identify drug abuse early and seek professional help from BIG SKY Treatment. - Published: 2023-12-28 - Modified: 2025-07-10 - URL: https://bigskytreatment.com/resources/recognizing-the-signs-physical-mental-and-behavioral-indicators-of-drug-addiction/ Identifying drug addiction early is critical for seeking timely help and support. At BIG SKY Treatment, we are dedicated to empowering individuals and their loved ones with the knowledge needed to recognize the signs of addiction. Understanding these indicators is often the first step toward effective intervention and recovery. Physical Signs of Drug Addiction The physical manifestations of drug addiction can vary depending on the substance and the individual. However, there are common physical indicators that may suggest a person is struggling with substance abuse: Sudden Changes in Weight Unexpected weight loss or gain can indicate a shift in health due to substance use. For instance, stimulant drugs like methamphetamine often cause significant weight loss, while depressants such as alcohol can lead to weight gain. Research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) highlights that drugs can disrupt the body's metabolism and appetite regulation, leading to these physical changes. Altered Sleep Patterns Insomnia or excessive sleeping may be signs of addiction. Stimulants like cocaine can result in prolonged wakefulness, while opioids may cause drowsiness and extended periods of sleep. Neglect of Personal Hygiene A noticeable decline in grooming or cleanliness often accompanies prolonged drug use. Individuals may prioritize substance use over self-care, leading to unkempt appearances. Visible Marks or Skin Changes Needle marks on arms or other parts of the body are common among individuals who inject drugs. Skin sores or lesions, often caused by excessive scratching or picking, may be associated with stimulant use like methamphetamine.
