The article is devoted to the study of existential fulfillment of people with alcohol and drug dependence. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the abuse of psychoactive substances and alcoholic beverages is an international problem. As a consequence of deep problems of the individual, drug addiction and alcoholism affect most areas of human life, destroying it, including its existential fulfillment, which acts as a focus of the individual to find the meaning of existence and build their own destiny. The purpose of the research was to study the existential fulfillment of people with drug and alcohol dependence. The Mann-Whitney U-test for independent samples was used to determine the differences in the expression of the indicators. During the study it was found that in the subjects (N = 60) with drug and alcohol dependence such components of existential fulfillment as meaning-life orientations and existentiality, have a low level of expression, the meaning-life crisis is highly expressed.
