In spite of what initiatives to legalize and today's culture wants you to think, it is a verified and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may bring about both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Much like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become hooked on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, which makes it a much bigger issue.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal function once the individual ceases using marijuana, this could take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression and other psychological symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for those who try to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be obtained at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol rehab centers in Barrington Hills to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can obtain further rehabilitation services after detox.
