Several specialized centers or
support structures currently exist for the treatment of addiction to cannabis.
Support of cannabis addiction is
mainly based on individual interviews specialized sessions (listening, advice,
guidance and individual aid) because usually dependent on cannabis is an
isolated issue and complexed with an open problem and a problem of trust
vis-à-vis others.
