Popis: Substance Use Disorder is a condition that generally presents comorbidity with other mental health problems, in addition to representing one of the most important health problems with high costs. However, despite social and health efforts, the data show an increase in the incidence and prevalence of this problem and traditional treatments have high dropout and relapse rates. Therefore, it is necessary to contribute to the study of the phenomenon of substance consumption and generate more effective intervention proposals. One of the therapies that has shown effectiveness over traditional interventions aimed at substance use is the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). This may be because this therapy offers a multimodal, comprehensive and flexible treatment that can be used transdiagnostically in both adults and adolescents. and because it addresses problematic emotions and behaviors, such as the abuse of psychotropic substances. The present theoretical review aims to show the bases of DBT dialectical behavioral therapy, the adaptations made for cases with substance abuse and the evidence, so far available, of the effectiveness of interventions based on DBT for the management of problems related to consumption. of substances.
