In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and scientific proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance that may lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Much like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become addicted to its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function once the person ceases using marijuana, this may take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be tough to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for 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 attempt to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehab programs in Ladd to help individuals through this course of action so that they don't relapse and may obtain further rehab services after detox.
