Learn more about high THC marijuana abuse treatment at Sierra Tucson

Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the active ingredient in marijuana that causes users to get high. For years, individuals who cultivate marijuana have been altering the potency of THC in order to provide users with a more potent and powerful high. However, in more recent years, a newer version of marijuana has been emerging on the drug scene that is capable of causing a great deal of damage to the health and overall wellbeing of those who abuse marijuana.

Individuals who are producing this more potent strain of marijuana have increased the amount of THC that is found in the drug naturally. So, when these newer marijuana strains are smoked or inhaled, an individual’s brain chemistry is temporarily altered to induce intense and all-consuming feelings of relaxation and detachment from one’s surroundings. As time goes on and as these higher THC strains are abused, the consequences that can occur as a result can be devastating and permanent. Therefore, if you’re someone who is struggling to end your abuse of this more formidable type of marijuana, you can access professional services within a trusted rehab center and leave the abuse of higher THC marijuana in the past once and for all.

Why consider treatment for high THC marijuana abuse at Sierra Tucson

The abuse of marijuana can lead to poor lung functioning and various other health problems that can be long-standing. However, when it comes to the ongoing abuse of high THC strains of marijuana, the resulting effects can be far more devastating. Researchers are finding that the regular abuse of high THC strains of marijuana may ultimately alter a person’s brain chemically. So, aside from the lung damage that can also happen with smoking this kind of marijuana use, it’s possible for an individual to develop certain mental health and cognitive problems that can truly hinder an individual’s quality of life. Over time, the ability to concentrate, think clearly, make sound decisions, form memories, and lead an otherwise satisfying life can all deteriorate if proper care isn’t sought. Lastly, like with non-enhanced marijuana, those who abuse altered marijuana remain at risk for legal problems, familial discord, and decreased career potential if this sort of substance abuse problem remains constant. Thankfully, though, many options for care are available and can change a person’s life for the better.

Sierra Tucson, a premier treatment center for high-potency marijuana abuse, includes a 15-bed behavioral health inpatient unit, and a 124-bed behavioral health residential treatment center, both of which are situated on the same campus. Patients who require immediate stabilization due to the presence of psychiatric concerns or those who are in need of medical detoxification services can receive these interventions prior to engaging in our treatment center’s residential care. When patients present to our rehab with high THC marijuana strains in their systems, the first step in their treatment may be to undergo the medical detox services offered at our inpatient program so that their bodies can become rid of the toxic substance. This period of detoxification is monitored by medical personnel in order to ensure that individuals remain safe and as comfortable as possible during the process. Patients will also engage in a number of therapeutic interventions during their time in inpatient treatment. Following detox and completion of treatment at our inpatient unit, patients will then engage in comprehensive treatment at our treatment center’s behavioral health residential treatment center.

Treatment for substance abuse concerns, including the abuse of high THC marijuana, is delivered through our rehab’s Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder Program. Offered within our behavioral health residential treatment center, services supplied in this treatment plan are designed to elicit the most favorable outcomes for all patients. Our reputation as a leading drug addiction rehab center stems from our clinical excellence and the best, compassionate care that we afford to everyone who seeks our services. Our holistic approach to treatment respects the dignity of each individual while offering a therapeutic environment that is fully conducive to healing of the mind, body, and spirit.

Using a biopsychosocial and spiritual approach to care, patients engaged in the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder program can partake in the following treatment methods, which are outlined in each patient’s individualized treatment plan, as well as in our treatment center’s daily treatment schedules:

Medication management: When individuals are struggling with the presence of a co-occurring disorder in addition to their addiction to high THC marijuana strains, the implementation of psychotropic medications may be incorporated into their overall plan of care at our high THC marijuana abuse rehab. The need for such medications, however, is always determined on a case-by-case basis. Patients who are engaged in the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder treatment plan will have the opportunity to meet with either a psychiatrist or qualified physician at a minimum of once per week so that any medications that have been prescribed can be monitored for therapeutic effectiveness and any necessary changes can be made.

Individual therapy: Master’s level clinicians and/or licensed psychologists at our treatment center offer individual therapy sessions with patients several times per week depending on the treatment modality that is being used. All patients are guaranteed, however, that a minimum of one individual session will take place each week. Each patient’s therapist will be assigned to them depending on the identified presenting concerns, the therapeutic approach that will be used in order to effectively address those concerns, and the specific training that the therapist possesses. These sessions occur in a confidential, one-to-one setting where the patient is afforded the opportunity to discuss their progress in treatment, address any concerns that may arise, and process various feelings they are experiencing.

Group therapy: At the time that patients are admitted into the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder treatment plan at our rehab, they are assigned to a small group of peers, all of whom are engaged in the same treatment. This group will meet together for therapy sessions four times per week. In addition to serving as a general process group, topics that are covered during these group sessions may include, but are not limited to:

• Working through grief and loss
• Relapse prevention
• Identifying feelings of shame in order to move to a place of resilience
• Healing anxiety
• Didactic lectures
• Anger management

Therapeutic Recreational Activities: In order to help patients build a stronger sense of self and increased confidence as they overcome their high THC strain marijuana abuse problem, this treatment option offers patients a myriad of therapeutic activities, which are conducted daily or on a weekly basis. A patient’s participation in such activities will be outlined in their treatment plan and may include the following:

• Adventure therapy (including a ropes course and rock wall)
• Equine therapy
• Expressive art
• Psychodrama

Each day will end on a positive note by allowing patients to gather together and reflect through a Gifts and Blessings Ceremony.

Should a patient require stabilization services while engaged in our rehab’s residential treatment, they are able to partake in the services supplied at our Behavioral Health Inpatient Unit before returning to residential treatment.

Sierra Tucson’s method for providing all-encompassing care for every patient who comes for treatment includes thorough discharge planning and continuing care services that are second-to-none. Once a patient engages in services to treat a high THC strain marijuana addiction and co-occurring concerns at our high-potency marijuana abuse treatment center, a comprehensive continued care plan is devised so that they can remain successful once treatment is complete. Those partaking in the services meet with continued care staff to assess each individual’s needs and plan for discharge. Those engaged in the residential treatment at our rehab meet with the same continued care staff and regional outreach specialists and partake in lectures and one-on-one planning sessions to ensure quality referrals and to establish any follow-up appointments that may be required once they have been discharged.

Furthermore, patients exiting the residential treatment, along with their family members, can benefit from The Connections Program. This treatment plan includes 12-month-long case management services that are in place to offer ongoing and substantial support to former patients. A representative from this treatment plan contacts patients 48 hours after they are discharged and is available to assist these individuals in seeking and receiving the additional services they need in order to remain successful in the process of healing and recovery.

Lastly, former patients can take part in the Alumni Services affiliated with our treatment center. These services include groups offered through outpatient centers, which are located across the United States.
