Marcel’s take on marijuana treatment

Marijuana is one of the most misread substances when it comes to treatment decisions. I see it go wrong in both directions. Families panic and want their son or daughter in a residential program when what they actually need is outpatient support and structure. And on the other side, people minimize it for years because it’s “just weed,” until it has quietly taken over their life.

I remember a mom who called me about her 17-year-old daughter. Good student, still in school, smoking weed here and there. The mom did not know what to do and wanted to get her daughter into a long-term residential program. I told her that was the wrong call. What I suggested was outpatient treatment and regular drug testing, because marijuana stays in the system for 30 days and you can track it accurately. For someone that age with no major warning signs, what you need is structure and accountability, not a residential bed.

One thing I also learned early on: never take the intake conversation at face value. Someone saying they only use marijuana does not mean that is all they are using. Always confirm what someone is actually taking. A drug test tells you what you are really dealing with, and it matters for choosing the right level of care.

If someone has been using marijuana daily for years and cannot stop on their own, that is a real dependency and it deserves real support. The right level of that support depends on the person, their history, and what else is going on in their life.
