Marijuana Addiction Treatment in Atlanta, Georgia

At Peachtree Detox, our marijuana addiction treatment programs in Atlanta, Georgia offers evidence-based rehab programming with lasting outcomes.

While marijuana is often viewed as a harmless substance, the reality is that regular use can lead to genuine addiction and dependence. 

When used regularly, marijuana can cause the brain to become dependent on its psychoactive compounds, particularly THC, leading to tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and compulsive use despite negative consequences. Approximately 9% of marijuana users will develop an addiction, with this number rising to 17% for those who start using in their teens.

At Peachtree Detox, we understand that marijuana addiction is a real medical condition that requires professional treatment. Our evidence-based programs help individuals overcome cannabis dependence and build lasting recovery in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

Marijuana Abuse in Georgia

While medical marijuana is legal for certain conditions under the Georgia Low THC Oil Registry Program, recreational use remains illegal. Despite legal restrictions, marijuana use continues to be prevalent throughout the state.

Georgia ranks high for marijuana use disorders. The accessibility of marijuana through neighboring states with more liberal laws, combined with changing social attitudes, has contributed to increased usage and, subsequently, more cases of marijuana dependence requiring professional treatment.

Many Georgians struggling with marijuana addiction face unique challenges, including:

  • Legal consequences from possession charges
  • Employment issues due to drug testing
  • Academic or professional performance decline
  • Relationship and family problems
  • Financial strain from regular purchasing
  • Mental health complications

How is Marijuana Addiction Treated?

Effective marijuana addiction treatment requires addressing both the physical dependence and the underlying psychological factors that contribute to continued use. Our multidisciplinary team works together to create personalized treatment plans that incorporate various therapeutic modalities.

  • Motivational Interviewing: A collaborative approach that helps individuals find their own motivation to change and overcome ambivalence about recovery.
  • Contingency Management: Uses positive reinforcement to encourage abstinence and treatment engagement.

We believe in treating the whole person, incorporating complementary holistic therapies that support overall wellness:

  • Mindfulness and meditation practices
  • Yoga and movement therapy
  • Art and music therapy
