The first step to treatment of Cannabis Use Disorder is to admit, as does the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel, that it exists.
After that, the American Society of Addiction Medicine treatment matrix may be applied, with the determined level of care contingent upon where one might indeed fall on the continuum of psychological and biological need.
In the end, not only may Cannabis Use represent a behavioral health concern, but that there is also efficacious treatments available, as one is willing to seek assistance.
