Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a proven and conclusive proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug which may bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Like other substances, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become addicted to its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, making it a much larger problem.

Somebody that uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly changing the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically return to normal function as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this may take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so common for individuals who try and stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Cypress to help people through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further treatment services following detox.
