Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a proven and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can bring about both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become addicted to its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, making it an even larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana often is really altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation as soon as the person stops using marijuana, this will take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for individuals who attempt to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug and alcohol detoxification and drug rehab facilities in Causey to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detox.
