- 24 S. Holmdel Road, Suite 2B, Holmdel, NJ 07773
Marijuana use is often seen as harmless, especially with increasing legalization and acceptance for both medical and recreational use. However, for many individuals, marijuana can lead to dependency and addiction, causing significant effects on mental health, relationships, and daily functioning. This sobering truth is often overlooked, leaving individuals struggling with the consequences of escalating marijuana use without proper support.
While many see marijuana as “non-addictive,” statistics reveal that approximately 9% of users develop a dependence, and this number increases to 17% among those who begin using as teenagers. Long-term use can alter brain chemistry, affecting motivation, emotional regulation, memory, and decision-making. These changes can hinder academic achievement, professional advancement, and personal relationships. For those with underlying mental health disorders, marijuana addiction can worsen conditions like anxiety, depression, and even psychosis.
Recovering from marijuana addiction often requires professional help, as dependence is not simply a matter of willpower. At Willow Ridge Recovery Center in Holmdel, NJ, we offer tailored and compassionate care for individuals battling marijuana addiction. Through structured programs, therapeutic support, and a comprehensive approach to recovery, we help clients rebuild their lives one step at a time. If you or someone you love needs marijuana addiction treatment in Monmouth County, NJ, reach out to Willow Ridge today.

What Is Marijuana Addiction?
Marijuana addiction, also known as cannabis use disorder, occurs when an individual develops a physical and psychological dependence on the drug. While marijuana is less addictive than substances like cocaine or opioids, it still carries the potential for abuse, especially when used frequently or at high doses. Over time, the brain adapts to marijuana’s effects, and individuals may struggle to function without it, leading to compulsive use despite negative consequences.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Marijuana Addiction
Recognizing the signs of marijuana addiction is key to seeking timely intervention. Some of the most common symptoms include:
- Physical Signs: Bloodshot eyes, persistent dry mouth, increased appetite, or slowed reaction times.
- Behavioral Indicators: Neglecting work, school, or responsibilities in favor of using marijuana; social withdrawal or isolation.
- Psychological Symptoms: Increased irritability, anxiety, or depression when marijuana is unavailable; using marijuana to cope with stress or escape from problems.
- Dependence and Withdrawal: Needing more marijuana to achieve the same high (tolerance); experiencing withdrawal symptoms like irritability, restlessness, sleep disturbance, or intense cravings when not using.

Understanding Marijuana Addiction
Risks of Long-Term Marijuana Use
While some individuals use marijuana occasionally without significant harm, long-term use carries serious potential risks, including:
- Cognitive Impairment: Chronic use can impact memory, focus, and executive functioning, leading to challenges in school, at work, or in daily responsibilities.
- Mental Health Concerns: Marijuana addiction is linked to depression, anxiety, and even psychosis in those predisposed to mental health disorders.
- Developmental Delays: For individuals under 25, regular marijuana use can disrupt cognitive and emotional development, causing lasting impairments.
- Quality of Life Decline: Addiction can lead to strained relationships, financial troubles, job loss, and diminished overall satisfaction with life.
If you or a loved one has been impacted by these risks, Willow Ridge Recovery Center is here to help you break free from addiction and start fresh.
Our Treatment Program
Levels of Care at Willow Ridge Recovery Center
At Willow Ridge Recovery Center in Holmdel, NJ, we take a personalized and supportive approach to recovery. Our comprehensive levels of care ensure that each individual receives the appropriate treatment for where they are on their journey to overcoming marijuana addiction.
Medical Detox (If Needed)
For some individuals, heavy, long-term marijuana use leads to uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia, cravings, irritability, and mood swings. While detox from marijuana is typically less intense than other substances, clients who experience pronounced withdrawal symptoms can benefit from our medical detox program. Here, our medical team provides close monitoring and support to ensure a safe, comfortable transition before beginning the next stage of treatment.
Inpatient Residential Treatment
Our inpatient program provides a secure and structured environment that allows clients to fully immerse themselves in their recovery. This level of care includes supervised living, access to therapy, and daily programming focused on building coping skills, self-awareness, and strategies for relapse prevention. Inpatient treatment is ideal for individuals who need comprehensive support away from triggers and temptations.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers intensive care for individuals transitioning from inpatient treatment or those who require structured care but do not require 24/7 supervision. Clients attend a full day of therapy, group counseling, skill-building activities, and other therapeutic interventions, returning home or to a sober living facility in the evening.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a step down from PHP, offering greater flexibility while maintaining regular care through counseling and therapy. This option allows individuals to work, attend school, or handle personal responsibilities while continuing their structured recovery journey.
Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient treatment at Willow Ridge focuses on aftercare and long-term sobriety. Clients engage in weekly therapy sessions, receive support from accountability groups, and refine their relapse prevention strategies. Outpatient care is a great option for those transitioning back into daily life or providing continued support for mild cases of marijuana addiction.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Marijuana addiction often coincides with co-occurring mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. Our dual diagnosis treatment is designed to address both addiction and mental health challenges simultaneously, ensuring clients receive comprehensive, tailored care.
Each level of care at Willow Ridge Recovery Center builds on the previous stage to prepare clients for long-term recovery, guiding them toward a healthier, more fulfilling life without marijuana.
