It’s not just a treatment center: it’s a community – Ojai Recovery’s response to COVID-19. I’m still friends with people I met there.” It was life-changing support.

They didn’t just treat me; they made sure my family was part of it too. That meant a lot. We healed together, and that’s something no other place ever offered us.

Understanding Marijuana Use Disorder

Despite growing social acceptance and legalization, cannabis can still become addictive especially when used to cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, or boredom.
  • Needing to use daily (or multiple times per day) to feel “normal”: Relying on marijuana just to function signals dependence and disrupted balance.
  • Difficulty sleeping, eating, or managing emotions without THC: Everyday activities become harder without marijuana, showing strong reliance on the substance.
  • Brain fog, low energy, or lack of motivation: Chronic use can leave people feeling mentally cloudy and physically drained.
  • Trouble focusing or engaging socially when not high: Life without marijuana feels dull or difficult, impacting relationships and productivity.
  • Increased anxiety or paranoia: Instead of calming, marijuana may begin to worsen mental health and stress.
  • Failed attempts to quit or cut back: Repeated struggles to stop reveal the addictive pull of marijuana use.
  • Feeling emotionally flat, unmotivated, or detached: Over time, marijuana can reduce emotional depth and create a sense of detachment.
You don’t need to face these struggles alone. Supportive, professional care is available to help you regain balance and move toward lasting recovery.

Drivers of Marijuana Use

The Hidden Reasons Behind Marijuana Dependence

Cannabis is often used to manage deeper emotional pain. At Ojai Recovery, we help clients explore the why behind the use.
  • Untreated anxiety or social fear
  • Depression or emotional numbness
  • Past trauma or emotional overwhelm
  • Sleep problems or racing thoughts
  • ADHD, overstimulation, or difficulty being present
  • Chronic stress, disconnection, or boredom

Our Treatment Approach

While marijuana is often thought of as less harmful than other substances, regular use can lead to dependence and withdrawal symptoms that make it difficult to stop without support. At our center, we provide a safe, structured environment where clients can detox comfortably and begin building a foundation for recovery.

Personalized Assessment and Stabilization

Many clients arrive unsure if their use “counts” as addiction. We start with an in-depth, non-judgmental assessment to understand how cannabis is functioning in your life and how we can best support you.
  • Psychiatric and clinical evaluation
  • Assessment of co-occurring disorders
  • Development of a customized treatment plan
  • Emotional and physical support as you adjust to life without THC

Residential Healing in a Nature-Based Setting

Clients stay on our campus for full-time residential care, where we blend clinical excellence with connection, structure, and restorative experiences.
  • Individual therapy focused on identity, purpose, and emotional regulation
  • Group therapy on motivation, shame, relationships, and communication
  • Holistic practices like yoga, mindfulness, and expressive arts
  • Nature immersion to reduce anxiety and rebuild presence
  • Social model recovery, healing through peer connection
  • Aftercare planning and long-term clarity
