Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can cause both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become addicted to its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true two decades ago, making it a much bigger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression along with other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is really prevalent for those who try to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug detox and alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Scotts Hill to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further rehabilitation services following detoxification.
