In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it's a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can cause both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Much like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become addicted to its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation two decades ago, which makes it an even bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana regularly is really altering the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal operation once the individual stops using marijuana, this may take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users.

Marijuana detox solutions are offered at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Northwest Harwich to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
