Do Social Cognition Deficits Recover in Alcohol-Dependent Patients With Abstinence?

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate no natural recovery of social cognition impairments in ADP during an intermediate to long-term period of abstinence (2+ months), the usual active treatment phase. Research aimed at developing interventions that focus on the improvement of social cognition deficits (e.g., social cognition training) and determining whether they benefit short- and long-term clinical outcomes in AUD seems warranted.
