Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become dependent on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is really changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function when the person stops using marijuana, this can take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for those who try and cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug detoxification and alcohol and drug rehab centers in Pearsall to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services following detoxification.
