If you think a friend or family member has a problem with drugs, talk to an adult you trust, like a parent, coach or teacher. Remember, treatment is available and people can get better. You can find treatment programs through this Web site www.findtreatment.samhsa.gov provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Or call the SAMHSA Treatment Referral hotline at 1-800-662-HELP. Treatment can help you, a friend, or someone you love get back to the person they once were. Treatment Options Visit www.drugabuse.gov for additional information on drugs and drug use. Withdrawal Symptoms Symptoms are similar in type and severity to those of nicotine withdrawal—irritability, sleeping difficulties, anxiety, and craving—peaking a few days after regular marijuana use has stopped. Behavioral Therapies • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) • Contingency management, or motivational incentives • Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) • Behavioral treatments geared to adolescents There are no FDA-approved medications to treat marijuana addiction at this time. Treatment of addiction involves making tough changes in how you live and act, so setbacks are to be expected along the way. A return to drug use means treatment needs to be started again or adjusted, or that a different kind of treatment is needed.
