  • Spending excessive time obtaining, using, or recovering from marijuana
  • Cravings or strong urges to use
Moderate — Elevation 3,000 ft

Escalating Impact

  • Cognitive fog — difficulty with memory, concentration, and learning
  • Loss of motivation, declining performance at work or school
  • Withdrawing from activities and relationships you once enjoyed
  • Continuing to use despite relationship or social problems

Field Guide for Families

How to Help a Loved One

Supporting someone through marijuana addiction requires preparation. Consider these expedition tips.

1

Educate Yourself

Learn about cannabis use disorder as a real condition, not just a “harmless habit.” Today’s marijuana is far more potent than in previous decades, and dependence is more common than many realize.

2

Avoid Enabling

There’s a difference between helping and enabling. Stop minimizing their use, making excuses, or removing natural consequences of their marijuana dependence.

3

Set Boundaries with Compassion

Clear boundaries protect both of you. Be firm yet loving — “I love you, and I can’t watch you lose yourself to this.”

4

Join Family Therapy

Trailhead offers monthly Zoom family education groups. Open to all family members 18+. Curriculum covers codependency, family systems, and substance use education.

5

Take Care of Yourself

You can’t lead an expedition if you’re exhausted. Seek your own therapy, attend support group meetings, and prioritize your mental health too.

6

Learn About Codependency

Family systems often develop unhealthy patterns around addiction. Understanding these dynamics is the first step to changing them.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+. (857) 312-1697

When They’re Not Ready

What If They Refuse Treatment?

When a loved one won’t accept help, these structured communication steps can make a difference.

Step 01 — Recon

Don’t Wait for Rock Bottom

The idea that someone must “hit rock bottom” is a myth. Earlier intervention leads to better outcomes. Start gathering information and preparing now.

Step 02 — Approach

Use Compassionate Language

Express concern without judgment. Use “I’ve noticed...” instead of “You always...”. Motivational interviewing techniques can guide the conversation.

Step 03 — Establish Perimeter

Set Clear Boundaries

Boundaries aren’t ultimatums — they’re statements of what you will and won’t accept. Enforce them consistently with love and follow through.

Step 04 — Call for Backup

Consider Professional Intervention

A trained interventionist can facilitate a structured conversation. This isn’t about ambushing — it’s about organized, loving support from the whole team.

Step 05 — Emergency Protocol

Know When to Call for Help

If there’s immediate danger — co-occurring crisis, threats of self-harm — call 911. For guidance on next steps, call us anytime at (857) 312-1697.

Our admissions team can guide you through next steps — even if your loved one isn’t ready yet.
