In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a proven and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Like other substances, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become hooked on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms when they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, which makes it a much bigger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly return to normal function once the individual stops using marijuana, this can take some time. Individuals 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 can be a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause severe depression as well as other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for individuals who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug rehab centers in Windsor to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services following detoxification.
