Abstract

First, the stage will be set by reviewing research and clinical experience with recovery from cannabis use disorder and other addictions, with a focus on natural recovery processes. Recovery without the assistance of treatment is the most common recovery pathway, but clinicians can promote and support individual as well as re-directing to treatment if warranted. Second, models of brief interventions, both advice oriented and motivational will be described. Finally, the basic principles and techniques of motivational interviewing as applied to brief addiction interventions will be presented.
