In spite of what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug which can lead to both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Similar to other substances, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become dependent on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true twenty years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana frequently is really changing how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal operation as soon as the person stops using marijuana, this can take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your 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 can be hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is so prevalent for individuals who make an attempt to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be obtained at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Forsyth to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further rehabilitation services after detox.
