Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it's a verified and scientific fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance that may lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other substances, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become hooked on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation twenty years ago, which makes it an even bigger problem.

Somebody that uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal function once the person stops using marijuana, this may take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause severe depression as well as other psychological symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so common for those who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Crouch to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and can obtain further rehabilitation services following detoxification.
