Understanding Cannabis Addiction

Cannabis addiction, also known as cannabis use disorder, develops when a person struggles to control their use despite negative impacts on health, work, or relationships. While cannabis is often seen as low-risk, heavy or prolonged use can lead to tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, cognitive changes, and mental health concerns. Early recognition and treatment can prevent these effects from becoming more severe.

At Thrive Medical’s RAAM Clinic, this includes medical support for withdrawal symptoms, brief counselling, relapse prevention strategies, and referrals for longer-term therapy when needed.

Unlike opioids or alcohol, cannabis use disorder usually doesn’t require inpatient detox. While many addiction treatments share common elements like behavioural therapy and counselling, marijuana addiction treatment specifically addresses the unique effects of cannabis. Treatment often focuses on managing withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability, insomnia, and cravings, sensory perception changes, while using behavioural therapies like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to change habits and reduce relapse risk.

Though rare, a cannabis overdose is possible, especially with high doses of THC or consumption of edibles. Symptoms may include extreme anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations, and increased heart rate. Immediate medical attention is recommended if severe symptoms occur.

Several factors increase the risk, including genetic factors, early exposure during brain development in young people and young adults, co-occurring mental health conditions, and environmental influences such as easy access to cannabis.

Withdrawal symptoms typically begin within 24 to 72 hours after cessation and can last for one to two weeks. However, some individuals may experience symptoms for a longer period depending on usage patterns and individual factors.

Yes, comprehensive cannabis addiction treatment programs at our clinic are designed to address co-occurring mental health conditions and substance abuse. Treating both cannabis dependence and mental health disorders simultaneously improves recovery outcomes and supports long-term relapse prevention.

The stigma attached to marijuana addiction often prevents individuals from seeking help despite experiencing marijuana symptoms and negative consequences. Popular belief may downplay the seriousness of cannabis addiction, leading to delays in treatment. At Thrive Medical, we provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment to help overcome this barrier. Our marijuana rehab programs focus on addressing substance use disorders related to the cannabis sativa plant and other drugs, ensuring comprehensive care that promotes recovery and relapse prevention.
