In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it's a verified and scientific proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which may bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become addicted to its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 2 decades ago, which makes it an even bigger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is significantly altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal function once the individual stops using marijuana, this can take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your 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 are often hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is so common for many who try to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Chief Lake to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services after detoxification.
