In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a verified and conclusive fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which may cause both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Similar to other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become dependent on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially quit using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation twenty years ago, which makes it an even larger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal operation as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this can take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is so prevalent for those who attempt to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug rehabilitation facilities in Newark to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detox.
