Marijuana Use Disorder Treatment
When Daily Use Isn’t Relaxing Anymore—It’s Time to Pay Attention
Cannabis is everywhere. It’s legal. It’s accessible. It’s even marketed as wellness.
But for many people, especially those with trauma, anxiety, or depression, what starts as a calming escape can slowly become a daily crutch that disrupts focus, motivation, sleep, and emotional regulation.
If you’ve tried to cut back and can’t…
If you feel disconnected, foggy, or flat without it…
If marijuana is the only thing that helps you cope—but it’s starting to cost you more than it gives…
Then you’re not weak. You’re not overreacting. You might be dealing with Marijuana Use Disorder. At Metro Recovery Center, we offer real support for cannabis dependence—without stigma, scare tactics, or judgment. Just clarity, honesty, and clinical care that works.
What Marijuana Use Disorder Looks Like
Needing cannabis daily to manage stress, sleep, or emotions
Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not using
Prioritizing marijuana over responsibilities, relationships, or goals
Using more over time to get the same effect
Hiding use or minimizing it—even to yourself
Wanting to stop, but struggling to follow through
