Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it's a verified and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may lead to both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become dependent on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, making it an even larger issue.

Someone that uses marijuana often is really changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function when the individual stops using marijuana, this may take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation 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 may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so common for individuals who make an attempt to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Yoakum to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services following detox.
