Reports to CE Broker
Marijuana is the most available and widely used illicit psychoactive substance worldwide, with use more than twice that of all other drugs combined, including alcohol. In the U.S. alone, it is estimated that there are over 15 million marijuana users, of which 4 million experience a cannabis use disorder. Treatment admissions for marijuana abuse/dependence have more than doubled within the last decade and admissions reflect an average of more than 10 years of daily use. These patterns confirm that marijuana abuse is a relevant public health issue not only among young people, but among adults seeking treatment for long-term use as well. This online course will help define the role of mental health professionals in treating marijuana addiction. Specifically, associated problems/symptom constellations, epidemiology, assessment, diagnosis and evidence-based treatment modalities for marijuana dependency/abuse will be discussed. Clinicians will be informed as how to integrate diverse psychosocial treatment regimens into their clinical repertoire and to recognize other therapeutic resources available to complement their care. Taken together, the information presented will enable clinicians to help their patients achieve a better quality of life, including cognitive, social and occupational functioning.
