This paper aims to argue the need to develop, in psychologists, the competences in addiction intervention. Sources that corroborate this approach were reviewed and the competences listed in the guide for addictions counseling from the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment were assessed. In conclusion, it reaffirms the need to develop in psychologists the competences in intervention with addicts or individuals with addiction risk.
