In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Much like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become dependent on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation twenty years ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly altering the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this will take time. Individuals 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 a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which can 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 extreme depression and other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is really common for many who make an attempt to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be obtained at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Nelsonville to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
