Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance which may cause both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become dependent on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms when they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't true two decades ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly return to normal function once the individual stops using marijuana, this could take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause severe depression along with other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so common for individuals who attempt to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and drug rehabilitation centers in Avon to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detoxification.
