In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to think, it's a proven and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which may lead to both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Similar to other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become addicted to its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms if they initially stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case twenty years ago, which makes it a much larger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana regularly is really altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation when the individual ceases using marijuana, this may take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so common for those who try to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug detoxification and alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Monmouth to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further rehab services following detoxification.
