In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a proven and scientific proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Similar to other substances, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become dependent on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms if they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it an even bigger issue.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is significantly altering the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically return to normal function once the individual ceases using marijuana, this can take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every 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 habitual users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for individuals who try and stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at drug and alcohol detoxification and drug rehab centers in Lido Beach to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehab services after detox.
