Drug abuse is currently one of the biggest problems in society, so the objective of this study was to talk a little more about the drug user, the treatments most used by nurses and the assistance of the nursing team provided to dependents chemists and their families. Methods: We sought, through bibliographic research in books, magazines, scientific articles, academic publications and electronic documents published in the last 10 years, to address the subject in question. Results: There are a considerable number of people who suffer from drug addiction and the majority of this population is male. The nursing professional seeks in several ways to intervene to improve the installed status of this user, but the precariousness of resources destined for this area becomes an obstacle in the search for the desired results. Conclusion: Although in Brazil the few types of treatments offered are aimed at the curative area, that is, from rehabilitation to preventive action, it is still the main resource that the nursing professional finds to deal with the excessive consumption of drugs and those who are already dependent and it is up to the professional himself to search for new knowledge and innovations to be able to rehabilitate this user and offer quality support to his family.
