Results: The combination of descriptors used resulted in 670 articles, which, after careful analysis, were selected to compose the research, according to the selected inclusion criteria. Conclusion: Nursing care is extremely important for the assistance provided by the multidisciplinary team at the Alcohol and Other Drugs Psychosocial Care Centers; however, further studies on the subject are needed in greater detail.
