Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to think, it is a proven and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which may lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Similar to other substances, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become addicted to its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation two decades ago, making it an even larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly changing the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically return to normal function as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this can take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so common for those who try and cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug treatment centers in Gilbert to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services following detox.
