Abstract

This theoretical study aims to discuss the difficulties faced by drug addicts citizens when searching for
treatment in current society. Therefore we performed searches, through keywords (drugs, difficulties,
drug addicts, treatment), in papers available at SciELO and also in some books that talk about this
theme. The study revealed that to know intellectually the harmful effects of the drugs is not enough to
modify the suicidal behavior of the drug addict. Living sober in a consumerist society is a tough
reality that can’t be overcome only with knowledge. The discussion contributes to a reflection among
professionals who work directly or indirectly with drug addicts.
