In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it's a verified and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance which can bring about both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become hooked on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms if they initially stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is significantly changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function when the individual stops using marijuana, this can 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 users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause severe depression along with other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for many who try and stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Effingham to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehab services following detox.
