Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and scientific proven fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive drug that may bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become dependent on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation two decades ago, making it a much larger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is really changing the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this may take some time. People 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 habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be tough to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression and other psychological symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is really common for many who try and cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be obtained at drug and alcohol detox and drug rehab programs in Chesterfield to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
