Marijuana Rehab Centers in Chico, CA
As a college town, Chico has its own set of problems with the abuse of marijuana.
For many people, using marijuana is a recreational and occasional activity that they can stop whenever they want. For others, it isn't quite that simple. Some people find themselves using marijuana far too frequently, up to the point of it having a serious effect on their lives, their loved ones, and their own health.
Marijuana doesn't have withdrawal symptoms the way other drugs do, but people can become psychologically addicted to anything, including marijuana. Especially if it is used to cope with stress, it can become a dependency to cope with life, rather than facing issues head on to solve them.

Chico Marijuana Addiction Treatment
Chico is a city and a university town, what with its Chico State campus right there in the middle of downtown. Its full name is actually California State University, Chico, but everyone calls it Chico State. It is much like the rest of the city, being beautiful, well built, and actively engaged. Sometimes you can catch performances or sports games here, if your timing is right.
Like any college town, Chico has a bit of a marijuana problem. Busy, stressed students needing to relax are perhaps even more likely to relax with some marijuana, and sometimes even abuse the drug.
People who abuse marijuana use will likely find that professional help and treatment is the best course of action to get them back on track right away. The good thing about marijuana abuse, when compared with other drug abuse, is that the long term effects are not as severe and therefore do no need to be addressed as strongly.
Because addiction is a behavioral issue more than anything with marijuana, patients likely will find success with cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational enhancement therapy. This helps people change their behavior and, even more importantly, want to change their behavior.
