Abstract

Introduction: The consumption of synthetic cannabis is a growing reality within the attention to the disorders by consumption of new psychoactive substances; the difficulty in its detection, low cost and easy access to the substance would be related to this increase in consumption. The effects, treatments and possible consequences of the use of this substance are subject of study.Case presentation: We discuss the clinical case and intervention of a male diagnosed with a synthetic cannabis use disorder in the context of a residential treatment in a therapeutic community. With the intervention designed the patient maintains abstinence and an incipient autonomous functionality facilitating discharge after compliance with the program. Conclusions: The intervention in patients consuming synthetic cannabis is a therapeutic context in which it is beginning to investigate, being necessary to design new care proposals, detecting the effects and pharmacodynamics of the substance.
