Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a proven and scientific fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Much like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become hooked on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function when the individual stops using marijuana, this can take some time. People 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 are often challenging to endure. These symptoms may 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. For this reason relapse is really prevalent for individuals who try and quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug treatment facilities in Trappe to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further rehabilitation services following detoxification.
