Despite what initiatives to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it's a proven and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become addicted to its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case two decades ago, which makes it an even bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly altering the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly return to normal function when the individual stops using marijuana, this could take 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 a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be challenging 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 extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is so common for those who try and stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug detoxification and drug rehab facilities in Norwalk to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services after detox.
