What Is a Marijuana Hotline?

Marijuana hotlines, often called marijuana helplines, exist explicitly to help those battling with their addiction. A marijuana hotline focuses specifically on that drug as well as co-existing addictions or conditions.

When Should I Call a Marijuana Hotline?

First and foremost, if the situation you (or someone you are assisting) are in is life-threatening please call 911 immediately.

While helplines on a national level can provide valuable assistance, it is only local emergency resources that can properly assess and take action when there is immediate danger of harming oneself or others.

When not faced with a critical, life-threatening health emergency, a call to a marijuana hotline is recommended when the time has come to break the dependence on the drug.Our 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week marijuana hotline exists for that purpose.

If I Call, What Questions Will They Ask?

Each helpline or hotline will ask questions based on the type of organization they are and what resources they assist in proving. When calling our marijuana helpline we will be asking questions that allow us first be able to clearly understand the current situation. From that point the focus shifts to getting a deeper take on how we can help. The questions are probably largely what you would expect.

  • Is the person with the marijuana addiction safe (as opposed to being at risk of harming themselves or someone else)?
  • Beyond the marijuana addiction, are there additional factors that need to be considered such as dependence on other drugs or alcohol?
  • Are there any conditions the person who is seeking help also struggles with, such as mental health or an eating disorder?
  • Is the individual ready to move forward with drug detox, drug rehab, and/or therapy?
  • Finally, expect the conversation to determine if our drug treatment programs and services are a good fit?
  • Is the Conversation Confidential?

When I Call, Is the Conversation Confidential?

Confidentiality is our top priority.When calling our hotline your confidentiality is guaranteed.If you are calling a national or another helpline, we suggest you verify their confidentiality policy at the beginning of the call.

Can I Start Treatment for My Marijuana Abuse When I Call?

That depends upon the drug hotline you call. When calling our marijuana helpline our primary goal is to get an understanding of what challenges are being faced and to suggest a drug treatment program tailored to the specific situation. In simplest terms, when calling us the answer is “yes!”
