Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture would lead you to believe, it is a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug that may bring about both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other substances, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become dependent on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms should they initially quit using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it a much bigger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this can take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause severe depression and other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for many who make an attempt to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug rehabilitation centers in Antelope Valley Crestview to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services after detox.
