In spite of what initiatives to legalize and today's culture would lead you to think, it is a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can bring about both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other substances, a person who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become dependent on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially quit using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case twenty years ago, which makes it a much larger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana often is really changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation when the person ceases 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 normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause extreme depression along with other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for individuals who try to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be found at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug and alcohol rehab centers in Morristown to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
