In spite of what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a verified and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance that may lead to both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become dependent on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true two decades ago, which makes it a much larger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is really altering the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function once the individual ceases using marijuana, this can take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for many who make an attempt to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in South Lancaster to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
