Abstract

Many studies have linked cocaine use with alterations of executive functions. The aims of this one are: (1) to assess executive functions; (2) to analyse the neuropsychological pattern and (3) to detect associated variables. The study was conducted with patients of over 18 years of age (N = 25) who came to Mataró (Barcelona) Drug Addiction Care Centre. We applied a protocol for assessing executive functions to all patients who had a minimum withdrawal. The
results associated cocaine use with deficits in semantic and phonologic fluency and also related better performance in working memory to employed patients. We consider the assessment of executive functions as an issue for maximising the chances of therapeutic success.
