Individualizing Treatment of Substance Use Disorders Based on Neuropsychological Assessment

by

Joshua Masino, Psy.D.

Clniical Neuropsychologist, Enterhealth

                                

FWAPA is delighted to have Dr. Masino present a workshop discussing recent research and application of neuropsychological assessment related to the treatment of substance abuse and dependence.  He plans to achieve the following objectives:

1.     Understand the assessment process used by neuropsychologists to assess, diagnosis, and treat patients across the lifespan with neurological, medical, and psychiatric conditions.

2.     Comprehend how alcohol affects the structure and functioning of the brain, leading to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional difficulties. 

3.     Recognize how specific drugs, including opioids, cannabis, and cocaine, affect the structure and functioning of the brain, resulting in cognitive, behavioral, and emotional sequalae. 

4.     Understand how common types of therapy may need to be adapted to accommodate for the identified difficulties.

5.     Realize the value of cognitive remediation as an intervention to treat neurocognitive deficits.
