Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Similar to other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become hooked on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it an even larger issue.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression along with other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is really common for many who try and cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehab programs in Anacoco to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services after detox.
