In the 2016 World Drug Report, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODOC) states that 1 in 20 adults used at least one drug in 2014, or 250 million people aged 15-64, equivalent to the combined population of Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom. The same report mentions that more than 29 million people who use drugs suffer from drug-related disorders and that 12 million are injecting drug users.  

According to the Spanish Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality, cannabis and cocaine use has increased by 50% in recent years in the population between 15 and 54 years of age. The Spanish Observatory on Drugs and Drug Addictions in its 2016 report states that the most consumed substance is alcohol, estimating that 1,600,000 people aged 15 to 64 years present a risky alcohol consumption (5% of the population). On a daily basis, 31% of the population consumes tobacco, 7% consume hypnosedatives, 2% cannabis, and 1% cocaine in the last month. 

Therefore, the consumption and/or dependence on psychoactive substances constitutes a serious public health problem, in the three areas from the biopsychosocial model: problems in the sphere of physical, psychological and social health, not only during the moment of consumption but also in the future health of the individual.
