In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a proven and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug which can bring about both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become dependent on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case twenty years ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly altering the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this could take some time. Individuals 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 could be a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be tough to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for individuals who try to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Sherwood Manor to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services after detoxification.
