The hosts also touch on the unique challenges faced by chronic marijuana users in treatment. They discuss how incentives and individual responsibility play crucial roles in recovery outcomes.

Support from fellow residents and self-reflection are also emphasized as key components of a successful recovery journey. If you're curious about why anger is such a prevalent issue in substance abuse treatment and how to move past it, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
