Am I Addicted to Synthetic Marijuana? How to Tell:

Addicts must be able to recognize that they have a problem in order to beat a Spice or K2 addiction. Refusing to believe that an addiction is serious can have life-changing effects, such as overdose or even death. If you or a loved one abuses synthetic marijuana (like Spice or K2) and any of the following warning signs of addiction sound like you, then you may want to consider treatment:

  • I have trouble sleeping
  • I have to increase my dosage/consumption due to high tolerance
  • I have psychotic episodes
  • I experience loss of appetite
  • I sweat a lot
  • I have an inability to care about consequences
  • I have depression
  • I have a loss of motivation
  • I experience consistent and intense drug cravings
  • I have suicidal thoughts

Nutrition & Exercise for Synthetic Marijuana Addiction Treatment

To fully recover from synthetic marijuana addiction, the drug residue must be eliminated from your system.

Maintaining a healthy diet routine and taking supplements and amino acids will aid in improving one’s perception. Supplementing the body with vitamins it has lacked can also reduce withdrawal symptoms such as severe headaches.

Exercise is a natural way to treat depression when an individual is avoiding the use of drugs.

The Raleigh House offers a variety of different forms of exercise that our clients are encouraged to participate in.
