Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and scientific proven fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance which may cause both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become dependent on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even bigger issue.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is really changing the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function when the individual stops using marijuana, this can 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 users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so common for individuals who try and stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and alcohol and drug treatment facilities in Centerburg to help people through this course of action so that they don't relapse and can obtain further rehabilitation services after detox.
