Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance which may lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become hooked on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even bigger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal operation as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this will take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug 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 encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for those who try and stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug and alcohol detoxification and drug rehab facilities in Port Heiden to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services following detox.
