The Combination of Donepezil and Cognitive Training for Treating Alcohol Use Disorder

This is an open label feasibility trial to learn whether the combination of donepezil and cognitive remediation therapy (Donepezil + CRT) may improve neurocognitive functioning and decreasing alcohol use in Veterans with alcohol use disorder who have mild cognitive impairment (AUD-MCI). The study will determine the acceptability and adherence to treatment and preliminary evidence for efficacy. The study will recruit 15 newly recovering Veterans individuals with AUD-MCI for a 13-week, open-label, single-arm pilot study with sobriety and cognitive assessments at baseline and at 13-week follow-up.
