Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to think, it is a verified and scientific proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which may lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become hooked on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms if they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, making it a much larger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana often is significantly changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly return to normal function once the person stops using marijuana, this may 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 function without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause severe depression and other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is really common for those who attempt to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Colonial Beach to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services following detox.
