Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to think, it is a proven and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become hooked on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms when they initially quit using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, which makes it a much bigger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this may take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression along with other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for many who try and stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug treatment programs in Arkport to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detoxification.
