Abstract	The consequences of alcohol and opioid dependence are severe and may range from physical diseases to neuropsychological deficits in several cognitive domains. Alcohol and opioid abuse has also been related to brain dysfunction specifically in the prefrontal cortex. In order to assess these deficits and the application of a novel approach of cognitive stimulation to alcohol and heroin addicts, we have carried out a neuropsychological intervention program with mobile technology. Sixty-six alcohol and heroin addicts in rehabilitation were submitted to cognitive stimulation during four weeks in a three-day/week basis. The results of the neuropsychological assessments showed an overall increase of general cognitive abilities and executive functioning following cognitive stimulation, being more pronounced in alcoholics who were assigned to treatment group with mobile technologies in comparison to paper-and-pencil group and controls. These results support the usefulness of mobile serious games for neuropsychological stimulation to overcome executive dysfunction in patients with alcohol and heroin dependence.
