Learn more about high THC marijuana abuse treatment at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in Northern California

Contrary to an unfortunately persistent myth, marijuana abuse can lead to a host of negative outcomes including, but not limited to, addiction. When a person abuses high THC strains of marijuana, the risks for addiction and other forms of long-term harm are only increased. As the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has reported, both higher THC levels in marijuana and the increased popularity of edibles (THC-infused food products) have caused many problems for individuals who have abused these dangerous substances.

THC is the common abbreviation for tetrahydrocannabinol, which is the psychoactive element in cannabis, or marijuana. Over the years, as marijuana cultivation practices have become more sophisticated, strains of marijuana with higher THC levels have been developed. Today, high THC strains of marijuana elicit exponentially more intense effects than what cannabis abusers experienced in previous decades.

When a person who has been abusing high THC strains of marijuana becomes addicted, he or she will lose the ability to control the amount and frequency of his or her substance abuse. The individual may develop tolerance, which means that he or she will need to abuse higher THC strains of marijuana in larger or more potent amounts in order to achieve the desired effects. He or she may also experience withdrawal, which can include a variety of distressing physical and psychological symptoms, when attempting to end his or her abuse of high THC strains of marijuana.

In such cases, professional treatment at an effective rehab center such as Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in northern California may be the optimal choice. When a person completes rehab at Duffy’s, he or she will be put in the best possible position to overcome his or her dependence upon higher THC strains of marijuana and achieve long-term recovery.

At Duffy’s renowned and respected rehab center in beautiful northern California, men and women can receive the best comprehensive treatment in a safe and supportive environment, empowering them to leave their abuse of higher THC strains of marijuana in the past.

Helping a loved one get treatment for high THC marijuana abuse

If you have learned that a close friend or family member has been abusing high THC strains of marijuana, you may be tempted to dismiss this discovery as a relatively harmless behavior. Please resist the urge to do this.

Regardless of what you may have heard, abusing high THC levels of marijuana is far from a risk-free behavior. Your loved one may be in danger of developing an addiction, and could be in need of professional help. Please consider the following:

First, educate yourself about the dangers of marijuana abuse, especially high THC strains of marijuana. As noted in the previous section, increased THC levels and the increased use of edibles increases the dangers than can result from marijuana abuse.

It will also be of great value to yourself and your loved one to research the types of treatment that have helped others who became dependent upon high THC strains of marijuana, and to identify rehab centers that appear to offer the type and level of care that fits your loved one’s needs. Remember, researching rehab isn’t a matter of finding a “perfect program,” but about finding the center that’s the best match for your loved one.

Throughout this process, you should continue to maintain an open and honest dialogue with your loved one. Express your support, discuss your concerns, and perhaps most important of all, listen. Your loved one’s willingness or hesitance to discuss his or her struggles with high THC strains of marijuana will provide you with invaluable insights into his or her frame of mind, and will guide you in determining his or her interest in getting professional help.

If your loved one acknowledges that he or she has a problem with high THC strains of marijuana, then you can incorporate him or her in your efforts to find an optimal treatment environment. If he or she denies the existence of a problem or refuses to seek professional help, you may need to consult with an addiction expert about how best to persuade your loved one of the necessity and value of entering a comprehensive treatment program for addiction to high THC strains of marijuana.

Throughout the process, keep in mind that recovery can be a long and complex process. Depending upon whether or not your loved one has also developed any co-occurring mental health disorders, his or her time in rehab and the post-treatment phases of recovery may be particularly challenging. Set appropriate expectations, get help for yourself if necessary, and prepare to be a source of continued support during and after your loved one’s time in the rehab center.
