In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it's a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can cause both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become hooked on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana frequently is really changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically return to normal function once the individual ceases using marijuana, this may take time. People 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 long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause severe depression and 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 offered at drug detox and drug rehabilitation centers in South Bend to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services after detox.
