Marijuana Treatment
At Breathe Life Healing Centers, we recognize that while marijuana is often perceived as a “safe” or “natural” substance, it can still lead to dependence, mental health struggles, and disruption in daily life. With increasing legalization and accessibility, more individuals are finding themselves struggling with chronic use and its effects. We provide compassionate, evidence-based care to help those ready to regain control.
Why Marijuana Can Be Addictive
Regular marijuana use can lead to Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD), where the brain adapts to the presence of THC and relies on it to regulate mood, sleep, and appetite. Over time, users may need more marijuana to feel the same effects, leading to tolerance, withdrawal, and compulsive use despite negative consequences.
Signs of Marijuana Dependence
Using marijuana daily or multiple times per day
Needing more marijuana to achieve the same high
Irritability, insomnia, or anxiety when not using
Prioritizing marijuana over work, school, or relationships
Loss of interest in hobbies or activities once enjoyed
Difficulty controlling or cutting back use
Short-Term Effects of Marijuana Use
Altered perception of time and space
Short-term memory loss
Impaired coordination
Increased heart rate
Anxiety or paranoia
Long-Term Risks of Marijuana Use
Cognitive decline and memory issues
Reduced motivation (“amotivational syndrome”)
Worsening anxiety, depression, or psychosis in vulnerable individuals
Lung irritation or chronic bronchitis (with smoking)
Strain on personal relationships and responsibilities
Withdrawal Symptoms from Marijuana
Though not life-threatening, marijuana withdrawal can be uncomfortable and lead to relapse without proper support. Common symptoms include:
Irritability and mood swings
Insomnia or vivid dreams
Decreased appetite and weight loss
Restlessness
Intense cravings
