Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance that may bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become addicted to its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, making it a much bigger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly return to normal function when the person stops using marijuana, this can take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is really common for individuals who attempt to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detoxification and alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Park River to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services following detoxification.
