In spite of what initiatives to legalize and today's culture wants you to think, it is a proven and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug which can lead to both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become addicted to its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms when they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, making it an even bigger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is really changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal function once the person stops using marijuana, this could take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for many who try and stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug detoxification and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Summit to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services following detoxification.
