Brief summary: The study aims to evaluate the level of emotional intelligence in patients diagnosed with substance use disorder and to evaluate the benefits in emotional skills after a brief intervention based on emotional intelligence.

Detailed description: Patients will be recruited by consecutive non-probabilistic sampling in the Addictions Day Hospital of the Addictions Unit of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in Barcelona. The level of emotional intelligence will be assessed through the following measurement instruments: MSCEIT for the objective emotional intelligence coefficient and the TMMS-24 for the perceived emotional intelligence. Patients will attend 9 sessions of brief group intervention based on emotional intelligence and pre-post intervention differences in participants' TMMS-24 scores will be analyzed
