| Comment | My old job in the NHS was literally testing people's cognitive abilities once they'd gone cold turkey.
So folk would drink for years and years, then get themselves better and our job was to go 'right so your memory's fucked, in these specific ways, try X,Y,Z'.
It also really helps them through the system, as they'll get some addiction psychiatrist that thinks they're just being useless and their social worker//care worker//the charity can go 'no, look, they've actually been tested by a neuropsychologist, they're genuinely not as sharp as they could be, you're being unfair'. |
