Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it's a verified and conclusive fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can cause both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become hooked on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms when they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is really changing the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal operation as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this may take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often tough to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so common for those who attempt to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug treatment facilities in Millersburg to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
