In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a proven and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance that may lead to both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Similar to other substances, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become hooked on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana frequently is really changing the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically return to normal function as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this can take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for those who try and quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be found at drug and alcohol detoxification and drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Palm Beach to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services following detox.
