CANNABIDIOL (CBD) offers the promise of alternative to both illicit as well prescription use of substances, otherwise intentioned to the therapeutic treatment of both numerous health and behavioral health disorders.
Unlike Cannabis, commercial CBD does not have the active ingredient which brings about the most deleterious psychoactive effects of marijuana.
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.

As the clinical presentation would include either overt INTOXIFICATION and/or RISK FOR WITHDRAWAL, there is also a corresponding risk for RELAPSE and ONGOING USE.
Implicitly this risk thus reduces the efficacy of Level 1 Outpatient Care absent Medication Assist Treatments, such as that of combining psychological counseling with prescribed Buprenorphine and Naloxone.
With an immediate reduction in the use of opioids, the body is given much needed time to physically, cognitive, and psycho-socially recover.
