Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a verified and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug that may cause both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become dependent on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms should they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 2 decades ago, which makes it an even bigger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana often is really changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this could take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so common for many who make an attempt to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Long View to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services following detoxification.
