More teens with cannabis use disorder are facing treatment delays, study finds

A new study reveals that an increasing number of teenagers struggling with cannabis use disorder (CUD) are experiencing delays in getting the treatment they need, with about 11% of these adolescents developing CUD within a year. The delay in treatment can exacerbate mental health issues and hinder recovery, raising concerns about the broader impact on youth well-being and future addiction challenges. This situation underscores the need for more accessible and timely interventions to address the growing prevalence of cannabis-related disorders among young people.
