Despite what initiatives to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it's a verified and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may cause both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Similar to other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become hooked on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal function when the person stops using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so common for many who attempt to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at alcohol and drug detox and alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Tohatchi to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services after detoxification.
