Starting Cannabis use disorder counseling

What is cannabis use disorder counseling?

Cannabis use disorder counseling from our Thriveworks therapists in Pflugerville 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.

How does cannabis use disorder counseling work?

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.

Cannabis use disorder counseling at Thriveworks Pflugerville, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does cannabis use disorder counseling last?

Understanding Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) and Its Symptoms

Recognizing when cannabis use has crossed into misuse can be challenging. According to the DSM-5, Cannabis Use Disorder occurs when cannabis use leads to hindered daily functioning and increased agitation over at least one year. Symptoms include:

  • Prioritizing cannabis over responsibilities like school, job, hygiene, family, and friends.
  • Increasing frequency of use.
  • Spending substantial time obtaining, using, and recovering from cannabis.
  • Continued use despite negative impacts on oneself, friends, family, or work.
  • Craving cannabis, including experiencing dreams, images, smells, and obsessive thoughts.
  • Using cannabis in risky situations, such as driving while high.
  • Unsuccessful attempts to quit or reduce use.
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when trying to stop.
  • Using more cannabis to achieve the same effect.

A diagnosis of CUD requires at least two symptoms, with varying severity levels:

  • Mild CUD: 2-3 symptoms
  • Moderate CUD: 4-5 symptoms
  • Severe CUD: 6 or more symptoms

CUD is linked with long-term health issues, particularly cardiovascular and respiratory problems. It can increase blood pressure and heart rate, posing risks for those with heart conditions. Smoking cannabis is associated with respiratory issues like bronchitis, rhinovirus, chronic inflammation, influenza, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Benefits of Treating CUD

Detoxing from cannabis can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia, digestive issues, and tremors. Overcoming CUD involves changing daily habits and learning healthier coping skills.

The effort is worthwhile, with benefits including:

  • Restored enjoyment of interests and hobbies
  • Better sleep
  • Improved memory and concentration
  • Healthier relationships
  • Increased savings
  • Higher energy levels
  • More stable mood

Amanda always validates my feelings and is great at talking me through what is happening in my head. She allows me to talk and get out what I need to then helps me analyze it to move past it. I am truly grateful for her. I was very afraid of restarting therapy with a new clinician but I can't say enough how appreciative I am of her.
