Developments in the Treatment of Cannabis Use Disorder.

There is a growing demand for the treatment of marijuana detox use disorders and a paucity of evidence on best practice interventions. the targeted screening of high-risk individuals such as clients of mental health services, patients presenting with respiratory and other smoking-related complaints to general medical practices, juvenile justice populations and those with other substance use disorders would be useful places to identify those with earlier stage cannabis use problems for motivational and brief cognitive behavioural interventions. there have been calls for such screening and brief interventions among those presenting at accident and emergency facilities for related injuries. clinicians are sometimes reluctant to intervene with cannabis use disorders.
