In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and conclusive proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become dependent on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly quit using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana frequently is really altering the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression along with other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for many who try and stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be found at drug and alcohol detox and drug treatment facilities in Hastings to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further rehab services after detoxification.
