An Overview of Denver Treatment Centers
Denver drug rehab centers admit people for marijuana addictions nearly every day. While it’s true that a recent study conducted, in part, by the University of Colorado Denver found that marijuana dispensaries do not increase drug use in teens, it’s also true that marijuana is one of the most addictive and prevalent substances sold on the streets today, and many people are addicted to this powerful drug.

If you’re addicted to marijuana, or any other drug, Denver treatment centers might provide you with just the sort of help you’ll need to get well.

Benefits of Enrolling in a Rehabilitation Program

Drug dealers often tell their clients that the substances they sell are not addictive. If you’ve taken marijuana for years, you might have heard this statement time and time again, and you might also know that this assertion is patently false. Drugs like marijuana change the amount of chemicals the brain produces, and marijuana can also change the way the brain responds to common chemicals. If you’ve tried to stop using marijuana, you might have experienced deep and severe withdrawal symptoms, including depression or anxiety. These symptoms aren’t false or due to some sort of weakness on your part. Instead, they’re due to the chemical changes caused by addiction.

Marijuana Withdrawal Syndrome

If you’re not yet convinced that marijuana withdrawal is real, this study may help to change your mind. Of 54 people admitted to an outpatient program for addiction, 57 percent reported that they had at least six symptoms of marijuana withdrawal, and 47 percent reported that their symptoms were severe. It’s clear that marijuana causes difficulties for those trying to quit. Therapy could help you to overcome those symptoms and move forward with sobriety.
