In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance that may cause both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Much like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become hooked on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case two decades ago, making it an even larger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana on a regular basis is really altering the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation as soon as the person stops 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 normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause extreme depression along with other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so common for those who try to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehab centers in Copperas Cove to help people through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further treatment services after detox.
