Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a proven and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which may cause both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Similar to other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become hooked on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana often is really altering the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation as soon as the person stops using marijuana, this could take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana 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 may be hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is so prevalent for those who try and quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug rehabilitation centers in Hudson to help people through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services after detoxification.
