Treatment of cannabis use involves the same process and approaches as the treatment of any substance abuse disorder. Steps include intervention, abstinence and support achieved through the use of individual, family and group psychotherapies. For some patients, an antianxiety medication may be useful for short-term relief of withdrawal symptoms. For other patients, cannabis use may be related to an underlying depressive disorder that may respond to specific antidepressant treatment.
