Introduction: Health personnel have some unique characteristics related with workload, stress, work shifts and long work hours. All these factors, as well as the easy access to drugs in their job, make them candidates for possible substance-related abuse. These addictions are also a risk for the health of a third group: the patients. There are diverse treatment programs with a single objective: to obtain the reincorporation of these professionals. Objectives: To know the current situation of substance related abuse, the treatment programs and their results with the health personnel. Methods: Structured bibliographical searches were made in the following databases: MEDLINE (PUBMED), Scopus, Web of Knowledge (WOK), IBECS, LILACS, SCIELO and grey literature. Results: A total of nine scientific articles from different sources were included. The evidence levels were low. There are treatment and reincorporation programs which achieve promising results.

Keywords : Treatment program; substance-related abuse; health personnel.
