ForwardBehavioral Interventions for Marijuana Use Disorder
Providers will be updated about what we know about marijuana, including types, adverse reactions, potency, forms, and methods of use. The presenter will then review the criteria used to diagnose cannabis use disorder (CUD) in adults using the ICD-10 and DSM-5.
This will help frontline providers identify the clinical manifestations and persistent symptoms of CUD. There are different methods one can use for screening and assessment of CUD, including drug testing, psychometric instruments, and differential diagnoses. Once assessed, patients will need to initiate treatment and outline goals. If the patient is having cannabis withdrawal, that must be kept in mind. Types of behavioral interventions for CUD will be reviewed in detail, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy (MET), combined CBT + MET, and contingency management (CM). In addition, options for patients who are unable to access structured treatment will be delineated.
