MDFT was compared to CBT in one study and was found to be more effective (Liddle 2008 cited in EMCDDA 2014) in:

  • reducing cannabis use (measured as number of days of use in previous 30) in the MDFT group (- 58.7%) than in the CBT group (- 46,1%) at the 12-month follow-up. However, both treatments showed statistically significant decreases across time in 30-day frequency of cannabis use (p=.001) and there were no significant differences between MDFT and CBT.
