Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it is a verified and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug which can cause both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Much like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become dependent on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms when they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, making it an even larger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really altering the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function when the person ceases using marijuana, this could take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression along with other mental symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so common for many who try to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug detox and alcohol and drug rehab facilities in College Station to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
