In spite of what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a proven and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is an addictive drug that may cause both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become addicted to its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms when they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, making it an even larger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana frequently is really changing how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this may take time. Individuals 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 a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for those who try and cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug detox and alcohol and drug treatment centers in Ophir to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
