Marijuana Addiction Counseling with Nancy Hilsenrath, LCSW, CASAC, SAP. Although sometimes perceived as non-addictive, marijuana contains chemicals which can produce effects leading to increased use, addiction and dependency in some users. This can have a large impact on an individual’s ability to function in daily life, work and relationships.
There is no-one-size-fits all when it comes to addiction counselling.
Every addict is different, with their own problems and reasons for adopting the addictive habit.
Equally, the path to recovery is different for everyone and a trained counselor will be able to tailor their advice to what suits best the needs of the individual patient. Nancy may also be able to recommend you to other support groups or further treatment where this may be necessary.
NOT ONLY DOES THE PROCESS HELP PROVIDE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE ADDICTION AND THE BASIS FOR IT, BUT IT CAN ALSO FURNISH THE PATIENT WITH THE TOOLS TO IDENTIFY THE TRIGGERS FOR THE ADDICTION AND WAYS TO MODIFY THEIR BEHAVIORS TO COUNTERACT THEM.
