In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a proven and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug that may lead to both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become addicted to its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, which makes it a much larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana frequently is significantly altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation once the individual ceases using marijuana, this could take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for long-term users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression along with other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so common for those who try and quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehab programs in Romeoville to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can obtain further rehabilitation services following detox.
