In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to think, it's a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug that may bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Similar to other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become hooked on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana often is significantly altering the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this could take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every 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 long-term users, because individuals will encounter 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 can cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is so prevalent for many who try and cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol rehab centers in Paw Paw to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further rehabilitation services following detoxification.
