Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a verified and scientific fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which may lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become hooked on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it a much larger problem.

Somebody that uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this will take some time. People 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 can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for many who try to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug rehabilitation centers in Plainview to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehab services after detox.
