Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to think, it's a proven and scientific fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Similar to other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become addicted to its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation twenty years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana frequently is really changing how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function once the individual stops using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so common for many who attempt to cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in West Burke to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services after detox.
