In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it is a verified and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance that may cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become hooked on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case two decades ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically return to normal function when the person stops using marijuana, this could take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for those who make an attempt to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at drug and alcohol detox and drug treatment centers in Powell to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detox.
