In spite of what initiatives to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become dependent on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly quit using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true twenty years ago, making it an even larger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal function once the person ceases using marijuana, this will take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be tough to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression as well as other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for many who try and cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are available at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Desert Hills to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services following detox.
