Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to think, it is a verified and scientific proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Much like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become dependent on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 2 decades ago, making it an even larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana often is really altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal function once the individual ceases using marijuana, this may take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be tough to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so common for those who make an attempt to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug detox and drug treatment facilities in Columbine Valley to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and can obtain further rehab services after detox.
