How long does brain take to heal after drug de-addiction?
Patient: thank you my son will be 22 on wed and he s recovering from drug abuse or the past 7 years sadly and i want to know can his brain heal totally? He is under a dr care and is on subtitex and will ween soon. Will this be long enough to stop his craving and realign his brain. I read males brine continue to grow and heal and regenerate unto 30. Is this a true fact. Also does weed damage their brain as well and does it cause anxiety as well as bad memory Doctor: Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.Weed has several side effects like memory loss and anxiety but there is no report on brain damage. Craving instead is difficult but not impossible to recover from.You should consider your son as abusive to drugs who is not really sick. Brain has several mechanisms to recover from certain attitudes like addiction to drugs, but in this case there is no physucal dependency, just psycological.So you should also consider psycological approach which has the best results.Hope this helps.Please feel free using MHC again
