In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become dependent on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger problem.

Somebody that uses marijuana regularly is really changing the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function when the individual stops using marijuana, this could 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 function without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression and other psychological symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so common for individuals who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Sky Lake to help people through this course of action so they don't relapse and may obtain further rehab services after detoxification.
