Despite what initiatives to legalize and today's culture would lead you to think, it's a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can cause both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Similar to other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become dependent on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly quit using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just instantly return to normal operation as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this may take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is so common for individuals who attempt to cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Bradley to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services following detoxification.
