Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it's a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which may lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become hooked on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation twenty years ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Somebody that uses marijuana regularly is really altering how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal operation when the individual ceases using marijuana, this could 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 could be a challenge for long-term users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often challenging 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 mental symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is so common for many who try to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be obtained at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug and alcohol treatment centers in Ellsworth to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services following detoxification.
