In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it is a proven and conclusive fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which may bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other substances, a person who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become addicted to its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms should they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even bigger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this could take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug 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 individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for many who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug rehabilitation centers in Holts Summit to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further rehab services after detox.
