In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance that may lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become dependent on its effects and may encounter 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 a much larger problem.

Somebody that uses marijuana regularly is really altering the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this may take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for long-term users, because individuals 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. For this reason relapse is so common for those who try and cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detoxification and drug and alcohol rehab centers in Woodcock to help people through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services after detoxification.
