NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION FOR ALCOHOL USE DISORDERS

Neuropsychological rehabilitation includes an integrated approach, consisting of three components: cognitive training; psychoeducation; and social skills/emotional management training. Cognitive training uses a combination of different tasks (always covering attention, memory and executive functions exercises), with a 30-minute session on the online cognitive training platform and 1 hour of pencil and paper exercises in a group, in a total of 36 sessions . Psychoeducation addresses specific topics related to Alcohol Use Disorder and its cognitive impact. Social skills/emotional management training includes problem-solving exercises, assertiveness training, emotion identification and management, among others. These sessions will be held once a week, for a total of 12 sessions.

The control group will attend weekly therapeutic groups, which consist of open groups, aimed to promote abstinence and relapse prevention, supporting the management of difficulties in the person's daily life related to consumption, promoting psychoeducation about the disease and coping strategies to deal with craving
