Despite what initiatives to legalize and today's culture would lead you to think, it's a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Similar to other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become dependent on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, which makes it an even larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana often is really altering the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function when the individual stops using marijuana, this could take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any 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 habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause severe depression as well as other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for those who attempt to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Mendon to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services following detox.
