A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY AS A TREATMENT FOR MARIJUANA DEPENDENCE IN ADULTS
Overview
This paper reports on a preliminary investigation of an abbreviated acceptance and commitment therapy protocol for adults with marijuana dependence. The study involved three participants treated over eight weekly sessions, with outcomes assessed via self-report and oral swabs. Results indicated zero marijuana use at post-treatment for all participants, with mixed abstinence rates at three-month follow-up alongside improvements in depression, anxiety, and experiential avoidance.
