In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become addicted to its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case twenty years ago, making it a much larger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana frequently is significantly changing the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation when the person stops using marijuana, this will take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression along with other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for those who try and quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug detox and drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Sun Prairie to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services following detox.
