Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and scientific proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other substances, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become hooked on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, which makes it an even bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is really changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation when the individual ceases using marijuana, this may take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be tough to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression along with other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so common for those who try and stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at alcohol and drug detox and alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Yah Ta Hey to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can obtain further rehabilitation services following detox.
