Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and conclusive fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug which can cause both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become hooked on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms should 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 often is significantly changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically return to normal function when the individual stops using marijuana, this could take time. People 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 a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so common for those who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol rehab centers in Blandinsville to help individuals through this course of action so they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services after detox.
