Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it's a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may cause both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become hooked on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms when they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana on a regular basis is really altering the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly return to normal function once the person ceases using marijuana, this could take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every 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 encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression along with other psychological symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for those who attempt to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Woods Creek to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detox.
