Despite 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 drug which may bring about both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other substances, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become addicted to its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation two decades ago, making it a much larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is really changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function when the person ceases using marijuana, this will take time. People 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 habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression and other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for individuals who attempt to cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol treatment facilities in East Millinocket to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services following detox.
