This study aims to characterize the consumption of alcohol addicts in treatment as well as psychological and social consequences of this consumption. A questionnaire was developed on the substance use; risk behaviors and criminal activity were also used: The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), Cut, Annoyed, Gilty; Eyer (CAGE), The Inventory of Drug-Taking Situation (IDTS), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and the scale of social support. The results highlighted, show us high rates of harmful, dependent and risk consumption of alcohol (78% in AUDIT and the CAGE 78%), and the fact that both the need for consumption, whether the various measures of frequency of use, are currently higher when compared with the period prior to treatment. Still, was found a significant positive relationship between alcohol consumption and the adoption of risk behaviors, particularly with regard to sexual risks. The fact that they are living with HIV and hepatitis B correlates positively with the consumption of alcohol, this is not checking for hepatitis C. It was also found a very significant positive relationship between psychopathological symptoms and alcohol consumption. For social support, although these individuals make a small social support, is not found a significant relationship between this and the consumption of alcohol.
