Activity Description

Cannabis is a plant of the Cannabaceae family that contains multiple biologically active compounds. The most potent compounds are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol. Cannabis use can cause intoxication, withdrawal, and biopsychosocial issues. A range of disorders are associated, including psychosis, sleep disorders, withdrawal, and a scale of intoxication that leads to the diagnosis of a substance use disorder. Treatment should include counseling such as cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, and psychiatric assessment for comorbid disorders, alongside innovative interventions like PNC-txt and intensive outpatient programs, while considering individual needs such as pain management or sleep studies.

Participants explore symptomatology, distinguishing between cannabis use and misuse, and navigate the complex regulatory landscape. The course details the evaluation and management of cannabis use disorder, emphasizing the interprofessional team's pivotal role. Clinicians facilitate comprehensive patient care through collaborative efforts, ensuring tailored interventions and addressing multifaceted aspects of cannabis-related issues for improved patient outcomes.
