- Abstract
In order to determine the characteristics of frontal and executive functions in male heroin users (n: 45) treated with methadone at the State Health-care Institution (ESE, Empresa Social del Estado, for its abbreviation in Spanish) Carisma Hospital in Antioquia, a descriptive observational study is carried out using both the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test, and the Batería Neuropsicológica de Funciones Ejecutivas y Lóbulos Frontales (BANFE) test. The results showed that executive functioning in most of these patients presents a severe alteration (n = 66.6%) concerning self-control tasks, decision making, and emotional regulation. In addition, some alterations in the dorsolateral, orbitofrontal and frontomedial areas are observed.
