Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it is a proven and conclusive proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which may lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Much like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become hooked on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation two decades ago, which makes it a much bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana frequently is significantly altering the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation as soon as the person stops using marijuana, this could take some time. People 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 quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is really common for many who try to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol treatment programs in East Northport to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services after detox.
