In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can cause both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Similar to other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become dependent on its effects and can encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, making it an even larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is really altering the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this may take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression and other psychological symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for those who make an attempt to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at drug and alcohol detox and drug rehab facilities in St Matthews to help people through this course of action so that they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detox.
