Resumen
En la mayoría de las evaluaciones neuropsicológicas realizadas en diversos estudios con sujetos con adicción al alcohol, se ha observado la presencia de alteraciones neuropsicológicas relevantes para una adecuada rehabilitación y adherencia al tratamiento. En el presente trabajo, se propone un programa de intervención neuropsicológica para personas con adicción al alcohol dirigido a un grupo de socios/as del centro AJAR de Jaén. Para elaborarlo, se han revisado diferentes teorías sobre los mecanismos de acción y alteraciones neuropsicológicas y emocionales más significativas del consumo crónico de alcohol; y los tradicionales programas de tratamiento, los cuales presentan altas tasas de recaída y abandonos, debido a que este tipo de intervenciones necesitan un correcto funcionamiento de diversas funciones ejecutivas para conseguir el éxito terapéutico. Por esta razón, se elabora un programa de intervención neuropsicológica con la finalidad de rehabilitar las funciones afectadas para, posteriormente, beneficiarse al máximo de los programas de rehabilitación.
In most neuropsychological assessments conducted in various studies with individuals suffering from alcohol addiction, neuropsychological alterations relevant to adequate rehabilitation and treatment adherence have been observed. This paper proposes a neuropsychological intervention program for individuals with alcohol addiction, specifically targeting a group of members of the AJAR center in Jaén. To develop this program, different theories on the mechanisms of action and the most significant neuropsychological and emotional alterations associated with chronic alcohol consumption were reviewed, as well as traditional treatment programs, which exhibit high rates of relapse and dropout. This is because such interventions require the proper functioning of various executive functions to achieve therapeutic success. Therefore, a neuropsychological intervention program was developed to rehabilitate the affected functions, thereby maximizing the benefits of subsequent rehabilitation programs.
