In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug that may bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Much like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become dependent on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation when the person stops using marijuana, this may take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for those who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug detoxification and alcohol and drug rehab programs in Fort Thompson to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further rehab services after detoxification.
