In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to believe, it is a proven and scientific proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Similar to other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become hooked on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms if they initially quit using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case twenty years ago, which makes it a much larger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana often is significantly changing how the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function once the person ceases using marijuana, this can take time. People 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 can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for individuals who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be obtained at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Fowler to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services after detox.
