Despite what initiatives to legalize and today's culture would lead you to think, it is a verified and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become dependent on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 2 decades ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana often is really altering how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically return to normal function once the person stops using marijuana, this can take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the 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 might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression along with other mental symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is so prevalent for those who make an attempt to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug rehabilitation facilities in Nickerson to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
