In spite of what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a verified and conclusive fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can bring about both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become dependent on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really altering the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function as soon as the individual 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 normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression and other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so common for those who attempt to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Brice Prairie to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
