Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a verified and scientific proven fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive drug which can lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Much like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become hooked on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, which makes it a much larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly changing how the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically return to normal function as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this could take time. Individuals 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 long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression and other psychological symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is so prevalent for those who try to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug rehabilitation centers in Wewoka to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services after detoxification.
