Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a proven and scientific proven fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive drug which can lead to both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become dependent on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is really changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically return to normal function once the individual stops using marijuana, this will 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 function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression along with other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so common for many who make an attempt to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Klingerstown to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services following detoxification.
