In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it's a verified and conclusive fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug that may lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become hooked on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't true two decades ago, making it an even larger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is significantly changing the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function once the person stops using marijuana, this could take 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 can be quite a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for those who try to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug detoxification and alcohol and drug rehab programs in Wilmore to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further rehab services following detoxification.
