In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a proven and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug that may cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other substances, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become dependent on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms if they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, which makes it an even larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is significantly altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal operation as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this can take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is so prevalent for individuals who make an attempt to cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug and alcohol detoxification and alcohol and drug treatment facilities in Fort Ransom to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services after detoxification.
