Cognitive functioning and treatment outcomes in a randomized controlled trial of internet-delivered drug and alcohol treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: The benefit of internet delivered treatment over standard care was unchanged across a range of cognitive functioning. Consistent with previous research, mild to moderate impairment in reasoning and cognitive flexibility were associated with lower retention across both treatment arms. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: An internet-delivered cognitive behavioral intervention for substance use disorders, TES, is equally effective across a spectrum of cognitive functioning among diverse patients.
