While marijuana addiction is rare, when it happens it can be
debilitating. It can lead to weight gain, staying in a low level job,
encounters with the police, and failure to complete a variety of
different projects. Fortunately, there is marijuana abuse treatment out
there. Because marijuana is not one of the more serious drugs, usually
you can go in for outpatient addiction treatment. I had a friend who
went to a marijuana addiction treatment program that lasted about six
weeks, and basically his treatment consisted of daily meetings. He
would go in for group therapy in the morning, and then after work he
would go and meet one-on-one with a counselor. It was a pretty standard
marijuana addiction treatment program, and I think it really did get
him off the drug for good.
