Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to think, it's a proven and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become addicted to its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, which makes it an even larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana frequently is really changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this may take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any 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 habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for individuals who try to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Ovid to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services following detoxification.
