Resumen: La demanda de tratamiento por problemas con el consumo de sustancias está relacionada con la existencia de malestar en el sujeto. Dicho malestar, es con frecuencia producido por las consecuencias negativas derivadas del consumo de sustancias y la presencia de problemas psicopatológicos. El objetivo del estudio es comparar el malestar subjetivo percibido por el sujeto y las puntuaciones en las nueve escalas de síntomas psicopatológicos del Cuestionario de 90 Síntomas Revisado (SCL-90-R) en el momento de inicio del tratamiento, en personas con dependencia de la cocaína y personas con dependencia de la nicotina. La muestra está formada por 230 sujetos, 115 sujetos con dependencia de la cocaína y 115 con dependencia de la nicotina. Encontramos diferencias significativas entre el grupo con dependencia de la nicotina y el grupo con dependencia de la cocaína en todos los índices generales y en las subescalas de síntomas excepto somatización y ansiedad fóbica.Palabras clave: dependencia, nicotina, cocaína, SCL-90-R. Comparison of the SCL-90-R score between nicotine dependence and cocaine dependence subjects at the beginning of treatment Abstract:The demand for treatment of problems on account of drug abuse is related to the presence of psychological distress. This distress is frequently produced by the negative consequences of drug abuse and the presence of psychopathological problems. The objective of the present study is to compare the psychological distress perceived by the subject with the score in the nine scales of psychopathological symptoms of the SCL-90-R at the start of treatment of subjects with cocaine dependence and subjects with nicotine dependence. The sample is formed by 230 subjects, 115 with cocaine dependence and 115 with nicotine dependence. We find significant differences between the group with nicotine dependence and the one with cocaine dependence in all the general indexes and in the subscales of symptoms except in somatization and phobic anxiety.
