Despite what initiatives to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it is a proven and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is an addictive drug that may lead to both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other substances, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become dependent on its effects and can encounter withdrawal symptoms when they initially quit using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, which makes it a much larger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana frequently is really changing the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this can take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression along with other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for individuals who try and cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug treatment facilities in Bisbee to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services after detox.
