Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to believe, it's a verified and scientific fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other substances, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become addicted to its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana often is really changing how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal function once the person ceases using marijuana, this could take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for those who try to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at alcohol and drug detoxification and alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Grasonville to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further treatment services after detoxification.
