Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to think, it is a proven and scientific fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can bring about both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become addicted to its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, making it a much larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly altering how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function when the person ceases using marijuana, this may take some time. Individuals 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 is usually a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often hard 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 severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so common for those who try to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox solutions are available at drug detox and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Tekamah to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services following detoxification.
