Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance that may lead to both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other substances, a person who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become addicted to its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 2 decades ago, making it an even larger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is really changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal operation when the person ceases using marijuana, this can take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause extreme depression and other psychological symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so common for those who attempt to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol treatment centers in Union Grove to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further rehabilitation services following detox.
