Abstract

The aim was to investigate the routine of family relationships with a substance dependent individual. It
is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach constituted by a rereading of a research database on ‘The family care
for the individual who is dependent on alcohol and other drugs’. The data were collected in August – September 2011
through open, recorded, interviews with 11 family members. The interviews were subjected to Thematic Content Analysis,
resulting in the categories Difficulties in family coexistence andImbalance in the family relationship.It is evidenced that
substance dependence weakens the bonds of trust in intrafamily relationships and can cause family members to fall ill. It
is concluded that substance dependence contributes to deterioration of family relationships, in which both the substance
abuser and his family become slaves of the drug, and suffer prejudice and social exclusion, being stigmatized by society.
