Following the legalization and consequent increased accessibility of marijuana in a number of states, Lifetime Recovery has updated its addiction treatment programs to include more evidence-based and integrative approaches to marijuana use disorder.

With the update, Lifetime Recovery aims to highlight the impacts that marijuana addiction can have on a person’s life. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 30% of marijuana users suffer from marijuana use disorder, and those who begin using the drug before the age of 18 are up to seven times more likely than adults to develop it.

The first sign of the disorder is dependence, which occurs because the brain reduces the production of its own endocannabinoid neurotransmitters in response to large amounts of the drug, says Lifetime Therapy. Individuals who have become dependent on marijuana may suffer from withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, mood issues, sleep problems, loss of appetite, restlessness, and physical discomfort. Prolonged use may eventually result in an addiction, which typically manifests as behavioral changes, distorted perceptions, impaired coordination, difficulties with thinking and problem-solving, and ongoing learning and memory issues.

In order to help their patients combat marijuana addiction, Lifetime Recovery has developed various treatment programs to address both the symptoms and the root causes of the disorder. One of the main focuses of their programs is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a type of psychotherapy that has been proven to be effective in treating both substance use disorders and any underlying mental illnesses that may have led to them. CBT helps patients identify and examine destructive feelings and actions, and this heightened awareness of their thoughts can allow them to adopt healthier and more positive habits.

Patients in recovery also have the option to receive individual and group therapy, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, twelve-step facilitation, and medication-assisted therapies for their marijuana addiction. Additionally, Lifetime Recovery offers partial hospitalization programs and mental health counseling to individuals who have received medical detox at another clinic and are seeking additional treatment for long-term sobriety.

The service expansion reflects Lifetime Recovery’s devotion to helping patients overcome their substance use disorders. The treatment center serves all of New Jersey and the surrounding areas, including Philadelphia, Delaware, Connecticut, and New York.
