Abstract:
Neuropsychological investigations have revealed that substance use disorders of young adults are associated with abnormalities in several areas of cognitive functions as well as in general cognitive functioning. Longitudinal studies have, however, indicated that the observed differences in cognition are most likely explained by differences preceding the substance abuse as well as by short-term effects of the drugs. Cognitive abnormalities associated with substance use disorders of young adults are, however, mild and most probably do not have major effects on the treatment of substance use disorders.
