More teens with cannabis use disorder are facing treatment delays, study finds
A 2022 study found nearly 34% of adolescents seeking treatment for cannabis use disorder (CUD) experienced admission delays, with wait times increasing sharply since 2015. The study, analyzing over 124,000 adolescent admissions between 2012 and 2022, linked the trend to pandemic-related disruptions and higher demand for care.
