I went through your details. Marijuana addiction also comes under abuse and addiction. You should motivate your child to stop the substance abuse. If your child is ready to stop the substance and willing to get the support she need, she can recover from addiction and abuse —no matter how bad the addiction or how powerless she feel.
The first step in treating addiction is accepting that she has a problem. Confronting an addiction and accepting responsibility for her actions isn’t easy. But it’s a necessary step on the road to treatment and recovery. You should then consult a de-addiction specialist / psychiatrist / psychologist who fill follow this treatment.
1. Detoxification using medicines.
2. Behavior modification with the help of therapies.
3. Counseling.
4. Medication to sustain and
5. Long term support.
These given steps are essential for any addict to get effectively rid of addiction. Therefore, you need to stick to the treatment plan and cooperate with your de-addiction specialist / psychiatrist / psychologist. Take care.
