Marijuana Drug Use in Teens

A marijuana addiction can tear a family apart and can ruin a teen's life. Commonly referred to as "weed" or "pot" (along with the terms reefer, dope, herb, grass, and many others), marijuana is one of the most common substances abused by adolescents, and is often considered a "gateway drug," or a drug that commonly leads to the use of stronger, even more dangerous drugs.

While people often question the belief that marijuana can be harmful, an addiction to the drug can cause many serious problems for teens and should be dealt with accordingly. Echo Malibu is the ideal location for your adolescent to eliminate the influence of marijuana from his or her life.

Echo Malibu's detox program takes place in a comfortably luxurious facility nestled between the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica Mountains. Our goal is to make sure that your adolescent's entire stay is pleasant. Although people may have heard that detox programs can be grueling and painful, you will find that Echo Malibu's program is just the opposite. During your adolescent's medically supervised detox and the rest of his or her stay here, we provide every luxury he/she will need.
