In spite of what initiatives to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it is a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can cause both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become hooked on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms when they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case two decades ago, making it an even larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really altering how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function once the individual ceases using marijuana, this will take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for long-term users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression and other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is really common for many who try and cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and drug rehab facilities in Albright to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further rehab services following detoxification.
