Purpose Of Review:
Sleep disturbances are prevalent among those with comorbid substance use disorders (SUD), significantly impacting the initiation, maintenance and relapse of these conditions.
Recent Findings:
This review explores the latest research on the reciprocal relationship between sleep and substance misuse, the effects of treating sleep on substance use outcomes, and the potential therapeutic uses of cannabis for sleep disorders in people with and without SUDs. Understanding these interactions may be critical for augmenting current treatment strategies aimed at improving sleep disturbances and recovery outcomes in individuals with SUDs.
