In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it's a verified and scientific proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can cause both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Much like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become addicted to its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly quit using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't true 2 decades ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana often is significantly changing how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function once the individual ceases using marijuana, this can take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for long-term users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so common for those who attempt to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in North Conway to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and can obtain further treatment services after detox.
