In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a proven and conclusive fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become addicted to its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 2 decades ago, making it a much larger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana frequently is really changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically return to normal function as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this will 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 quite a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause severe depression along with other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is really common for those who make an attempt to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Tega Cay to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services after detoxification.
