Introduction: Quality of life is defined from economic sciences, as an effect of economic automatism and inequality in social development. In relation to people who consume psychoactive substances, it has been determined that it radically affects the level and achievement of life, relationship, personal growth, physical well-being, safety, spirituality, environment, among others.
Objective: To describe the quality of life in drug-dependent adults in the systematized scientific literature.
Methodology: A systematic narrative review was carried out in which 11 articles were included.
Results: It is established that there is a low level of quality of life in this group of patients, due to the fact that such addiction affects several aspects, causing alterations in their behavior. Quality of life is determined by means of medical instruments used during clinical practice, in relation to people addicted to psychoactive substances, and it is established that it has detrimental effects leading to the development of various psychiatric and behavioral disorders.
Conclusion: the quality of life in drug addicts is considered as low, that is, it is deteriorated in areas that include the physical, psychological, social and cognitive domains
