Treatment of the addict.

► Actually there is no specific treatment of marijuana users as many of them are also addicted to stronger drugs as cocaine and heroin and there is no medicine which reduces the need of marijuana.

► Users enter specific centers and are kept for about 3 months without having marijuana.

► The most difficult stage, isn’t the detoxification. When they exit the center we must support them to enter in the real life again, something very difficult for them.

► If we don’t help them to find a job, make new friends non-users of marijuana, they will fill isolated from the society and start using marijuana to feel happiness Brought to you by
