In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and scientific proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which may cause both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other substances, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become dependent on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case twenty years ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is really altering the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function once the individual ceases using marijuana, this may take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression along with other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so common for many who make an attempt to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Downingtown to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can obtain further rehabilitation services after detox.
