In spite of what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a verified and conclusive fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive drug which can cause both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become dependent on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case two decades ago, which makes it an even bigger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana often is really altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation as soon as 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 habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is really prevalent for individuals who attempt to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehab programs in Maynard to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services after detoxification.
