Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it is a proven and scientific fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Similar to other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become dependent on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially stop using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation two decades ago, making it an even larger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly changing how the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this could take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression along with other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for those who try to cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Northwood to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services following detox.
