Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug that may cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Similar to other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become dependent on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, which makes it a much bigger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is really changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation once the person ceases using marijuana, this can take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is really prevalent for many who attempt to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug and alcohol treatment programs in Walker Mill to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services after detox.
