Despite what initiatives to legalize and today's culture would lead you to think, it's a verified and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Much like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended time period 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 problem.

Somebody that uses marijuana often is really changing how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal operation once the person ceases using marijuana, this can take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana 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 individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often tough to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, 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 those who try and stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol rehab programs in Buda to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehab services after detoxification.
