In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to think, it's a proven and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become addicted to its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Somebody that uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal operation once the person ceases using marijuana, this could 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 can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for many who try and stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug detox and alcohol and drug treatment programs in Oatfield to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services following detox.
