Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study examines whether computer tasks can improve memory and other cognitive functions among patients receiving inpatient treatment for substance use disorders.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will complete cognitive training sessions on a regular basis during inpatient treatment. Alternate versions of the computer tasks will be compared in a randomized design. Primary and secondary outcomes will consist of changes in cognitive performance before and after the training period.
