Despite what initiatives to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may cause both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Similar to other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become hooked on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms when they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case twenty years ago, which makes it an even larger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana frequently is really changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function when the person stops using marijuana, this may take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is really prevalent for individuals who attempt to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be found at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Belcourt to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detox.
