It is generally held that the treatment of marijuana use is more challenging than the treatment of other drugs. This workshop focuses on the issues of the treatment of marijuana use and disorders through the use of cognitive behavioral approaches. General strategic approaches that work are reviewed along with the rationale for their use. Specific interventions that have been demonstrated to be effective are covered as well as a review of the available research into treatment approach efficacy. Participants will leave the workshop with treatment approaches they can implement in their setting. Implications of medical marijuana and recreational marijuana legalization are also explored.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
•Name two specific effective treatment approaches; and
•Describe one specific treatment approach that they can implement in their setting.
