Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a proven and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become dependent on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms if 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 a much bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really altering the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this may take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression along with other psychological symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for individuals who make an attempt to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug and alcohol treatment programs in Guide Rock to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services after detox.
