Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it's a verified and scientific proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other substances, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become addicted to its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation twenty years ago, which makes it a much larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana frequently is significantly altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation once the person stops using marijuana, this can take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every 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 difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so common for individuals who try and stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug treatment centers in Fairborn to help individuals through this course of action so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services following detoxification.
