In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and scientific proven fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Much like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become addicted to its effects and can encounter withdrawal symptoms when they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana regularly is really changing how the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation when the person ceases using marijuana, this will take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be challenging 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 extreme depression along with other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for many who try to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in South Dennis to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detox.
