Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it's a proven and scientific fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can cause both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become dependent on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation two decades ago, making it an even larger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana often is really changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal function when the individual ceases using marijuana, this will take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is really common for those who try to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at drug and alcohol detoxification and alcohol and drug treatment facilities in Kistler to help individuals through this course of action so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services following detox.
