Cognitive enhancers, also known as nootropics, are emerging as promising tools in addiction recovery. These substances aim to improve cognitive functions like memory, attention, and decision-making, which are often impaired by prolonged substance use. Medications such as modafinil, bupropion, and acetylcysteine have shown potential in reducing cravings and supporting cognitive recovery. These drugs work by modulating neurotransmitter systems, including dopamine and glutamate, to restore balance in the brain. Cognitive training programs, combined with these enhancers, further boost recovery outcomes by strengthening executive functions. While research is ongoing, the integration of cognitive enhancers offers a novel dimension to addiction treatment, improving both neurological health and quality of life.
