Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to believe, it's a verified and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may cause both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become hooked on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, making it an even larger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana often is really changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function once the individual ceases using marijuana, this may take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression along with other mental symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so common for those who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and alcohol and drug rehab centers in Garrett Park to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services after detox.
