Despite what initiatives to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and scientific fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Much like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become dependent on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't true two decades ago, which makes it a much bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal function when the person stops using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so common for many who try to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug rehabilitation programs in Fort Totten to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further rehabilitation services following detox.
