Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it's a verified and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive drug that may bring about both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other substances, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become dependent on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it a much larger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is really changing how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal operation when the person stops using marijuana, this may take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is really common for many who try and quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be found at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Mentor on the Lake to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services after detox.
