In spite of 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 drug which can lead to both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Much like other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become addicted to its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it a much larger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really altering the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function when the person stops using marijuana, this will take some time. Individuals 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 a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so common for many who try and cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug rehabilitation facilities in Bushton to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
