Cannabis use disorder counseling from our Thriveworks therapists in Johnson City can help people manage their urges to use cannabis. In addition, it can help people manage the challenges that stem from their cannabis use disorder, from relationship issues to problems at work, as well as those that their disorder may stem from, like trauma.
Cannabis use disorder counseling works by helping one understand the underlying causes of their disorder, teaching them coping strategies, and recognizing their specific triggers. Long-term or ongoing cannabis use disorder counseling can also help to prevent relapse.
The length of cannabis use disorder counseling in Johnson City depends on the individual’s needs, the extent and severity of their disorder, and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in cannabis use disorder counseling in the first weeks to months.

What Is Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD)?
The psychoactive compound, Delta-9-TetraHydrocannabinol (THC) is contained in the stem, leaves, and buds of the cannabis plant. THC has a depressant effect in a person’s body which slows the brain-body connection. In large quantities, THC is also a hallucinogen.
DSM-5 labels the addiction as Cannabis Use Disorder, and it defines CUD as cannabis use for a minimum of one year wherein people’s daily functioning is hindered by their cannabis use.
Why Treat CUD?
Treating CUD can be a challenge. Detoxing may produce withdrawal symptoms, and learning to live without weed may involve learning new coping skills.
There is no quick fix for treating CUD, but it is often worth the effort. Many people have reported the benefits, including:
- Renewed enjoyment of hobbies and interests

- Improved sleep
- Better relationships
