In this study, the aim was to describe characteristics of the family context of adolescents undergoing treatment in the Alcohol and Drugs Psychosocial Care Center, Cuiabá, MT. This was a cross-sectional retrospective documental study analyzing the medical records of 74 service users receiving treatment. Results showed a predominance of males, with low levels of schooling and a high proportion of marihuana use. The majority had a satisfactory home life, did not get on well with the father figure and lived with other family members who used drugs. The findings indicate the importance of evaluating family factors in treatment, providing important information for developing comprehensive care which includes the user and their families.
