Personalized marijuana addiction treatment with expert care at Clear Behavioral Health
Marijuana use has become normalized, and although it’s not an addictive substance, the physical and mental response to using marijuana can be. Less widely known, marijuana addiction is when your cannabis use becomes increasingly more frequent, and you feel you cannot function daily without it.
Assessing how much you use, how often, and your symptoms when you aren’t using it can help you determine your dependence on the substance. At Clear Behavioral Health, our team of experts can help you understand your marijuana addiction, the underlying causes of why you depend on cannabis, and how to develop healthier coping mechanisms.

What is marijuana?
Marijuana, also known as cannabis, is the dried flowers and leaves from a cannabis plant, which, when consumed, is a psychoactive drug. The cannabis plant has two main chemicals: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC produces the psychoactive effects, while CBD has a calming effect.
Due to its seemingly harmless nature, marijuana use is normalized throughout the world, with options in the US to go to a doctor and receive a medical marijuana card, which enables you to purchase it legally in some states.
Marijuana has the potential to alleviate symptoms of chronic pain, help with anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, and other mental disorders. However, self-medicating can quickly turn into marijuana abuse and lead to more negative consequences down the line.
Marijuana can be smoked, made into tea, or put in food to be consumed. The oils can also be extracted and made into a wax or vape pen for a higher intensity to consume.
Types of marijuana
Cannabis flower
Cannabis flower is the smokable part of the cannabis plant that contains cannabinoids like THC and CBD. These flowers are harvested from the female cannabis plant and dried and cured before consumption.
Extracts and concentrates
A marijuana concentrate is a highly potent THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) concentrated mass that looks like honey or butter. Marijuana concentrates contain extraordinarily high THC levels, i.e., 40-80%. They are usually consumed via vaporization (vaping).
Edibles
Ground cannabis flowers or concentrates can be mixed with food to create edible marijuana, and their effects last longer than other methods. These products are sold and marketed as chocolate bars, sour candy, baked goods, drinks, and more.
Signs and symptoms of marijuana abuse
Common signs of marijuana addiction include:
- Paranoia
- Distorted perceptions and depersonalization
- Memory issues
- Impaired coordination
- Bloodshot eyes
- Constant cough
- Excessive hunger
- Slow reaction time
- Irritability

Frequently asked questions
Get answers to common questions about marijuana addiction treatment
What is considered heavy marijuana use?
Heavy marijuana use is generally when you engage in daily or near-daily use, multiple times per day. This typically involves consuming or smoking cannabis throughout the day, experiencing cannabis withdrawal when not using, and continuing despite negative impacts on your life.
If your marijuana use is affecting your relationships, work, or health, it may be time to speak with our addiction specialists.
What are the treatments for marijuana?
Effective marijuana treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy, and holistic approaches that address both addiction and mental health. Depending on your needs, treatment may be outpatient or residential.
Contact us today to find out which evidence-based treatment options might work best for your unique situation.
Is it possible to be addicted to weed?
Yes, it is possible to become addicted to marijuana. Signs you are addicted include cravings, withdrawal symptoms like irritability and sleep problems, and an inability to control cannabis use despite negative consequences.
If you’re concerned about your marijuana use, our compassionate team can help you determine if treatment might be beneficial today.
Is marijuana really addictive or just habit-forming?
Yes, marijuana can be addictive. While not everyone who uses cannabis develops an addiction, frequent or heavy use can lead to cannabis use disorder, where a person feels unable to stop despite negative impacts on health, work, or relationships.
How does outpatient treatment for marijuana addiction work?
Outpatient treatment provides structured therapy and support while allowing you to live at home. At Clear Behavioral Health, clients attend individual therapy, group sessions, relapse-prevention education, and holistic care several times per week. This flexible format makes it easier to balance recovery with work, school, or family responsibilities.
What is the difference between PHP and IOP for cannabis addiction?
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is more intensive, with clients typically attending treatment 5 days a week for several hours a day. An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) requires fewer hours per week—usually 3–5 days—making it a step down from PHP while still offering strong therapeutic support.
How long does it take to recover from marijuana addiction?
Recovery timelines vary. Some people may see improvements in a few months, while others may need 6–12 months of structured treatment and ongoing support. Long-term recovery often includes therapy, lifestyle changes, and relapse-prevention strategies.
Is marijuana addiction treatment covered by insurance in California?
Most insurance plans—including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Shield, and Cigna—cover treatment for marijuana addiction in California. Coverage depends on your specific plan, so it’s important to verify your benefits before starting treatment.
What therapy options are available for cannabis addiction?
Common therapies include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation, motivational interviewing to build commitment to change, and holistic therapies like mindfulness, yoga, and stress management.
What are the withdrawal symptoms from quitting marijuana?
Withdrawal symptoms may include irritability, anxiety, insomnia, loss of appetite, headaches, cravings, and mood swings. These symptoms are usually not life-threatening but can make it challenging to stop without professional support.
What are the common symptoms of marijuana addiction?
Signs of marijuana addiction include:
- Needing more marijuana to feel the same effects (tolerance)
- Struggling to cut back or quit
- Spending significant time using or recovering from use
- Declining work or school performance
- Social withdrawal or loss of interest in activities
- Continued use despite negative consequences
How long does marijuana withdrawal and treatment last?
Marijuana withdrawal symptoms typically last 1–2 weeks, though sleep issues and cravings can persist longer. Treatment duration depends on individual needs but often involves 6–12 weeks of outpatient care and longer-term support through therapy or aftercare programs.
Is medication used to treat marijuana addiction?
Currently, there are no FDA-approved medications specifically for cannabis addiction. However, clinicians may prescribe medications to manage anxiety, insomnia, or depression during withdrawal and recovery.
Are support groups available for marijuana addiction recovery in Los Angeles?
Yes. Many people benefit from peer support groups such as Marijuana Anonymous (MA) and other community-based or treatment center–led recovery groups in Los Angeles. Clear Behavioral Health also offers alumni programs to help clients stay connected and supported after treatment.
