Interventions for Cannabis Use Disorder

Abstract How to treat adults and adolescents with a Cannabis Use Disorder is a burgeoning research area. This article reviews the empirical literature pertaining to the several psychosocial approaches (cognitive-behavior therapy, motivational enhancement and contingency management), all of which are associated with favorable outcomes. We also review the emerging research on the use of pharmacotherapy, brief interventions and technology-delivered interventions, and conclude with an overview of future research needs.
