The severity of the substance addiction consequences (SAC) is often the reason for seeking help and joining medication-based programs. However, little has been explored about the nature and extent of the consequences, the outcomes of these programs and of nursing consultations. This cross-sectional study with a nursing-assisted sample, enrolled on a methadone or an alcohol aversion therapy program, aims to find out the most severe indicators of SAC and identify factors to effective self-management of this consequences. The most severe indicators were “anxiety,” “maintaining employment,” “sadness,” “problems with self- supporting,” and “problems with family relationships.” Patients most likely to have severe SAC are those with Hepatitis B (HBs), with mood disorders, and those who consume cannabis. The factors that can contribute to a more effective SAC self-management are to stop consumption, enrolling in and complying with the therapeutic project related to addiction and comorbidities.

药物成瘾后果（SAC）的严重性通常是寻求帮助并加入基于药物的计划的原因。但是，关于后果的性质和程度，这些计划的结果以及护理咨询的研究很少。这项横断面研究包括一项护理辅助样本，参加了美沙酮或戒酒疗法计划，旨在找出最严重的SAC指标并确定有效自我管理这种后果的因素。最严重的指标是“焦虑”，“保持就业”，“悲伤”，“自给自足的问题”和“家庭关系的问题”。最有可能患有严重SAC的患者是患有乙型肝炎（HBs），情绪障碍的患者和食用大麻的患者。
