Abstract

The great necessity of new professionals and the low quality of the physical activity programs performed on individuals with subtance abuse suggest new challenges and demand specific competences to the professionals of the physical activity that work with drug abusers.
In this context, the physical exercise should be considered as a therapeutic tool whose value resides in the adequate establishment of physical, psychological and social objectives, in the reflexive activities selection, in the correct design of the sessions and in the very best methodological intervention..
