In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to think, it's a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which may bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become addicted to its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it a much bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation when the person stops using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any 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 encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression and other psychological symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for many who try to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug detoxification and drug rehabilitation centers in Sibley to help individuals through this course of action so they don't relapse and can obtain further rehab services following detoxification.
