Medical Cannabis Use Adjunct to Standard of Care in a Residential Substance Use Recovery Program: A Pilot Study
This study provides preliminary evidence for the feasibility of integrating MC in a supportive residential recovery program. Important factors for success include the provision of cannabis education, developing a clear organizational framework, and establishing evidence-informed policies within the context of substitution therapy and harm reduction. Further research to more formally evaluate integrating MC in residential substance use treatment is encouraged.
