In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it is a verified and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance that may bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Much like other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become dependent on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms should they initially quit using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation as soon as the person stops using marijuana, this will take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for long-term users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression along with other mental symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so common for individuals who try and quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehab programs in Boothbay Harbor to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services following detoxification.
