Neurocognitive predictors of treatment outcomes in psychotherapy for comorbid PTSD and substance use disorders.

Those with better working memory functioning had worse SUD outcomes. Together with prior literature, findings suggest that neurocognitive functioning may impact the effectiveness of PTSD and SUD treatment.
