Treatment for Marijuana Induced Psychosis
We help young men experiencing complications from marijuana abuse by treating underlying mental health conditions and instilling healthy behaviors and coping mechanisms.
What Is Marijuana-Induced Psychosis?
Marijuana-induced psychosis is a severe mental health condition triggered by the consumption of marijuana, characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and a significant detachment from reality. Unlike transient paranoia or mild anxiety that some users may experience, marijuana-induced psychosis can lead to a profound disconnection from reality, often requiring medical intervention and long-term treatment. For young men, this condition can be particularly debilitating, affecting academic performance, career prospects, and personal relationships.
Risk factors include:
- Bipolar Disorder
- Pre-Existing Mental Health Conditions
- Genetic Predisposition
- Early Usage
- Frequency of Use and Potency
Signs and Symptoms include:
- Hallucinations: seeing things that aren't there, hearing voices
- Delusions: Paranoia, grandiosity and irrational beliefs
- Disorganized Thinking: Difficulty organizing thoughts
- Behavioral Changes: Sudden behaviors that are out of character
