The present study examined neurocognitive functioning in groups of individuals addicted to various psychoactive substances. One hundred ten patients admitted to treatment for substance misuse were assessed using a semistructured clinical interview, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Symptom CheckList-90, the Trail Making A and B tests, and the Shipley Institute of Living Scale. Results revealed that at intake, alcohol- and benzodiazepine-addicted clients exhibited higher levels of cognitive impairment and psychological distress than patients dependent on other drugs. Regression analysis showed that the Shipley vocabulary raw score was a significant predictor of length of stay in treatment.
本研究调查了成瘾于各种精神活性物质的个体群体的神经认知功能。对110名因药物滥用而入院接受治疗的患者，使用半结构化临床访谈、贝克抑郁量表、症状自评量表90、连线测验A和B以及希普利生活量表进行了评估。结果显示，在入院时，酒精和苯二氮卓类药物成瘾的患者比依赖其他药物的患者表现出更高水平的认知障碍和心理困扰。回归分析表明，希普利词汇原始分数是治疗住院时间的一个重要预测指标。
