Marijuana abuse continues to be a worrying trend throughout Australia and affects individuals and families from all walks of life. Sydney Detox and Rehab is here to help with your addiction concerns.

What is Marijuana addiction?

The THC in marijuana affects mental processes, coordination, perception of time, memory and sensory perception- it gives users a ‘high’ and a feeling of relaxation.

Despite misconceptions, marijuana is addictive. Regular use of marijuana leads to functional and structural changes in the brain, which lead to dependence on the drug and withdrawal symptoms when the drug is stopped. Tolerance to marijuana develops, and more and more of the drug is needed to get the same effect.

An addict is typically unable to stop using when they try to, or continues to use despite the negative consequences of using.

Signs of marijuana addiction can include:

Secrecy around using and/or hiding of usage
Lack of motivation
Reduced cognitive abilities
Difficulties concentrating, remembering, and learning
Giving up or being unable to find interest in topics, hobbies, and activities you used to enjoy
Needing more and more marijuana to get the same effect
Continuing to use despite negative impacts on relationships, work, and studies
Cravings for marijuana when not using
Using in dangerous or risky situations, for example, while driving
Depression and anxiety
Paranoia and psychotic symptoms
Diminishing social life
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when use is stopped

Marijuana abuse can have long-term consequences on attention, learning, and memory impairment and can lead to psychosis & paranoia in susceptible individuals.

What is marijuana withdrawal?

Marijuana is a commonly abused illicit drug.

Over time, the body builds up a tolerance to and physical dependence on marijuana. When marijuana use is stopped, the user will experience a range of uncomfortable symptoms due to the body and brain adjusting to the lack of the substance in the body. This is known as withdrawal, and withdrawal symptoms can vary from mild to severe.

The intensity and discomfort of symptoms can make it difficult to stop using. Attending a residential detox and rehab program can increase your chances of successfully stopping your marijuana use.

Symptoms of marijuana withdrawal can include:

Anxiety and irritability
Feeling depressed
Insomnia
Sweating and cold sweats
Fatigue and tiredness
Strong cravings to use marijuana
Nausea
Chills or fever
Stomach problems and cramps
Headaches
Mood changes
Lack of appetite and weight loss

Marijuana abuse can have long-term consequences for attention, learning, and memory impairment, and can lead to psychosis and paranoia in susceptible individuals.
