Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to believe, it's a proven and scientific proven fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance which can cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Much like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become hooked on its effects and can encounter withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly changing how the brain functions, and so the brain can't just instantly return to normal operation once the individual ceases using marijuana, this can take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression and other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for many who try to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be obtained at alcohol and drug detox and alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Ketchum to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services after detoxification.
