Abstract

Alcohol abuse impacts on cognitive functioning. We report a test of a cognitive stimulation intervention on patients recovering from alcohol dependence syndrome. 169 patients were split into 2 groups (cognitive stimulation and controls). Patients in cognitive stimulation and engaged in a 10-session protocol with cognitive exercises in the form of serious games, as well as the general treatment, whereas controls underwent general treatment only. The results show greater improvement in cognitive performance post-treatment for patients in the cognitive stimulation group.
