Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it is a proven and conclusive fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive drug which may bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other substances, a person who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become addicted to its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms when they initially stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't true twenty years ago, making it an even larger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly altering how the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly return to normal function when the person stops using marijuana, this will take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so common for individuals who make an attempt to cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are available at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in South Woodstock to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services following detoxification.
