In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it is a verified and scientific proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can bring about both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become hooked on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case twenty years ago, making it an even larger issue.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation when the person ceases using marijuana, this can take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often tough to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for individuals who try to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox solutions are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug rehab facilities in Corning to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services following detoxification.
