Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug that may bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become addicted to its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case twenty years ago, which makes it a much larger problem.

Somebody that uses marijuana often is really altering the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal function when the person ceases using marijuana, this can take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for many who attempt to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug detoxification and drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Belfry to help individuals through this course of action so they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
