Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which may bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become dependent on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it an even bigger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana often is really altering how the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this can take time. Individuals 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 can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be tough to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression as well as other psychological symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is really common for many who try to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Bethel to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further rehab services following detoxification.
