In spite of what initiatives to legalize and today's culture would lead you to think, it's a proven and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can bring about both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become addicted to its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms should they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case twenty years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically return to normal function once the person ceases using marijuana, this can take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression as well as other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so common for those who try to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug rehabilitation centers in Heavener to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services following detoxification.
