Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a verified and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance which can lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Similar to other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become hooked on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it an even larger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is significantly altering the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation once the individual ceases using marijuana, this can take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana 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 encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for many who make an attempt to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be found at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol rehab centers in Dillsburg to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further rehab services following detoxification.
