In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to think, it is a proven and scientific fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which may lead to both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become hooked on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana frequently is significantly changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation when the individual ceases using marijuana, this can take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be tough to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression as well as other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is really common for those who try and cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Center Point to help people through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services after detox.
