Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture would lead you to believe, it is a verified and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Similar to other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become addicted to its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly return to normal function once the individual stops using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so common for individuals who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and drug rehab facilities in La Grange to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
