In spite of what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a verified and conclusive fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance which can lead to both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Similar to other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become addicted to its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, making it an even larger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana regularly is significantly altering the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function when the person ceases using marijuana, this will take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression and other psychological symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for many who attempt to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at alcohol and drug detox and alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Butterfield to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further rehabilitation services following detox.
