One of our Licensed Mental Health Therapists Traci Brautigan explains the importance of dual diagnosis therapy.
Why do people misuse marijuana?
People may misuse marijuana for various reasons, including its ability to provide temporary relief from stress, anxiety, or depression. Some individuals use marijuana to escape from emotional or psychological challenges, to enhance social experiences, or to induce relaxation and euphoria. Others may misuse it for its perceived ability to increase creativity or focus. Over time, regular misuse can lead to dependence, where users feel the need to consume marijuana to function normally, despite potential negative impacts on their mental and physical health.
Our Approach to Marijuana Use Disorder
With marijuana use disorder, insurance coverage for our Phase One residential program can be challenging. This is because insurance companies often base authorization on medical necessity. Since marijuana withdrawal is not considered life-threatening, higher levels of care like residential treatment may not be approved. Instead, lower levels of care, such as Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), are frequently recommended for treating marijuana use, focusing on therapy and recovery support without requiring medical withdrawal management.
When outpatient therapy doesn't work
Outpatient therapy for marijuana use disorder can be less effective due to gaps between sessions, during which cravings or triggers may occur. Additionally, if marijuana is still present in the system, it can hinder the effectiveness of therapy, as the mind and body need time to clear the substance before fully engaging in treatment. This can limit the impact of individual and mental health therapy, making it harder to achieve lasting recovery without more intensive or residential care.
We recommend our Phase Two Extended Care
Phase Two provides 24/7 supervision at our extended care facility in Arnold, Maryland, along with approximately 25 hours of group counseling each week. Clients can continue working or attending school virtually, as long as they fully participate in our therapeutic program, which runs Monday through Friday from 9 am to 2 pm.
Extended Care Overview
Breaking free from marijuana dependency requires a combination of commitment, self-awareness, and support.
This is often due to the downtime in-between outpatient therapy sessions, or not having the marijuana out of the system long enough for individual and mental health therapy to have a lasting impact.
