The Marijuana Treatment Project (MTP) studies the efficacy of treatments for adults who are dependent on marijuana. The manual Brief Marijuana Dependence Counseling (BMDC) is based on the research protocol used by counselors in MTP. This approach combines elements from motivation enhancement therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy and case management. The manual provides guidelines for counselors, social workers, and psychologists in both public and private settings who treat adults dependent on marijuana. Ten weekly one-on-one sessions in the BMDC manual offer examples of how a counselor can help a client focus on change, learn new skills, and access community support. Dr. Roger Roffman and other UW researchers affiliated with the Marijuana Treatment Project contributed to the manual.
