Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it is a proven and conclusive proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which may cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become dependent on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, making it an even bigger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is really altering the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function once the person stops using marijuana, this will take 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 is usually a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is so prevalent for those who attempt to cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and alcohol and drug treatment centers in Vienna to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services after detox.
