Drug and alcohol abuse can create harmful and lasting changes to the body and the brain. Long-term abuse of a substance can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms, making it challenging for a person to quit abruptly or alone. It is important to seek the help of professionals to treat addiction.
At OC Revive we believe that a comfortable, home-like setting is very important. We work closely with sober living facilities that offer structure and support. Residents learn to become responsible for themselves, while in a supportive environment. Residents of the sober living homes are expected to follow the rules of the house, while being encouraged to attend 12-step meetings, school or work.
OC Revive started because a team of like-minded professionals wanted to bring change and hope to their community. OC Revive is a family of highly skilled professionals, that will always go above and beyond to provide top-notch treatment for your family.
An important facet of treatment at OC Revive includes during- and aftercare support services. It is our experience that those who participate in alumni groups after treatment have a much higher chance of remaining sober.
The use of marijuana is a well-documented issue in the US. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 18% of Americans use marijuana at least once a year.
Marijuana addiction is even more serious. Spotting marijuana addiction is the first step towards recovery. This article will discuss ten signs of marijuana addiction.
A sure sign of marijuana addiction is the inability to stop using the drug. Your urges or craving are just too strong.
Even when you make a commitment to slowly reduce your intake, you find yourself taking more than you planned.
When this starts happening, it’s time to seek help.
If you start feeling unproductive, it can be a sign of marijuana addiction.
Signs of unproductivity you should look out for include
Unproductivity usually combines with other signs. So, you should keep an eye out for that.
If you no longer feel like hanging out with your social circle, that can be a sign of drug addiction.
You should be especially worried if you have little interest in interacting with your loved ones.
That can be a sign that you are addicted to marijuana.
Your behavior in the absence of marijuana can be a sign. If you start having withdrawal symptoms after a couple of days, you might be addicted.
Some withdrawal symptoms for marijuana include
If you notice one or more withdrawal symptoms, it’s time to visit a medical marijuana treatment center.
This refers to the amount of marijuana you have to take to feel high. If you feel or notice that you need to keep increasing your intake to experience similar effects, that’s a red flag.
High tolerance levels are a sure sign of addiction.
If you notice a disinterest in hobbies you love, this can be a sign of addiction. This disinterest must have begun after you started using Marijuana.
You should also make sure it’s not simply a case of being bored. Usually, this sign follows other signs such as unproductivity and withdrawal symptoms.
If you notice these signs, you should seek out a rehab center for weed addiction.
Rehab programs like the True Self Recovery Program are a perfect way to kick-start your recovery journey. Their world-class mental experts are always ready to assist you in any way they can.
Restlessness is a withdrawal symptom. If you can only relax after taking Marijuana, that’s a big sign of addiction.
If you spot this problem, you shoulder get your marijuana addiction treatment started immediately.
The more severe a marijuana addiction is, the harder it is to break free.
Sometimes, marijuana addiction can manifest through weight gain. Often called the munchies, you might experience a significant increase in your appetite.
This increase will lead to weight gain. This is caused by a significant intake of marijuana. Other similar problems that can be caused by addiction to Marijuana include
The True Self Recovery program focuses on treating these symptoms when handling marijuana addiction. With more focus on these symptoms, your marijuana addiction will soon be long gone.
If you suddenly realize that you cannot have a good time or have some fun without using the drug, you are probably addicted.
Craving Marijuana and having it as your only outlet for fun is a serious red flag worth addressing.
Lacking the motivation to get on with your work or activities can be a sign of marijuana addiction. This is intertwined with unproductivity.
Thus, a double dose of these signs can be an indication that you need to visit a rehab center.
So, what if these signs fit your situation perfectly? If there’s a chance that you are struggling with a marijuana addiction, you should get treatment immediately.
The best course of action is to seek treatment in a medical marijuana treatment center. The true self recovery program is a perfect example of a good rehab center for drug addiction. They are the best addiction and mental health providers in Arkansas.
This treatment center also offers other drug abuse treatments such as bipolar disorder, trauma disorders, and opiates. They are a great place to start.
All drug addictions should not be taken lightly. The faster you set out your path to recovery, the better.

I began my journey to recovery back in 2011 when i moved to California from New York.Along with my recovery and beginning a new way of life, I began to develop a heart for others struggling with sobriety.My journey to California was filled with many trials and lessons learned, but most of all, personal growth. I truly believe I would not have found success if I didn’t come to California.
I first opened an adult treatment center, California Prime Recovery(CPR) as a way to work with those struggling on a daily basis. Over the last 3 years, CPR has evolved into someting much more impactful and beautiful than i could’ve ever imagined. I have come to realize that my own happiness and growth depends on being involved in the lives of others in recovery. Helping people through recovery is a cornerstone of many 12 step programs, and it has become the most important aspect of personal life. Giving back to those still suffering is the only way not to lose what you have gained.
Throughout this journey, and by mentoring many adolescents, I realized i wanted to offer more to teens who were struggling just as i was. This is when i decided to start OC Revive. I had built many wonderful relationships throughout my professional journey and found two others who shared the same vision, and passion that i had for the youth. It didn’t take long for myself, Tyler Michaelis, and Derek Walsh to turn our dream into a reality. We are committed to providing the best possible treatment for adolescents and truly believe “their future is our collective responsibility”.
As Co-Founder & COO of OC Revive, Derek has a wealth of personal and professional experience dealing with the issues faced by today’s troubled teen. Throughout High School and College, Derek struggled with peer pressure, learning challenges, and substance abuse. Working with the support of family and friends, Derek set out to conquer those obstacles and find a richer, more fulfilling life.
On 15 October 2012, Derek overcame his own substance abuse problem and dedicated himself to help others work through their own addiction. A year later, Derek began a new journey and started his career in the recovery industry. Throughout his career, Derek has worked his way through numerous roles at top-rated treatment centers. While working at those treatment centers, Derek began to see a pattern that those struggling individuals would’ve benefited immensely from receiving earlier in life.
Derek decided that he wanted to be a part of the solution, and find a way to address those issues at an earlier age. He concluded that there needed to be interventions before adulthood, and he didn’t want to see anyone going through the same cycle that he did. That was when he and Tyler Michaelis decided to start OC Revive, to make sure teens get the help they need to find a purpose that leads them to a life of happiness and success.
Derek attended college at Orange Coast College and Santa Barbara City College.
