Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to think, it is a verified and conclusive fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive drug which may cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become addicted to its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly quit using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana frequently is really altering the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this could take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is so common for individuals who make an attempt to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and drug rehab facilities in Downers Grove to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehab services following detoxification.
