Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to think, it is a proven and scientific fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become hooked on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation twenty years ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana frequently is really altering how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation once the person ceases using marijuana, this can take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for those who try and stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug treatment centers in Owosso to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detoxification.
