This article aims to discuss the different ways in which the drug use operates in subjects in a psychotic structure. We take as the unit of analysis the concepts of psychosis and drug addiction in the Freudian-Lacanian psychoanalysis, along with current authors who discuss the theme. While in neurosis, drug addictions operate to break with the phallic Jouissance, in psychosis they work differently, in that there is a break, given beforehand, because it is structural. From the literature review, it was found that the use of drugs in psychosis could operate in three different modes: as a stabilizing solution; as a supplementation to the foreclosure of the 'Name of the Father'; and as a release of Jouissance. Such discussion allows advances in the understanding of an increase in the number of psychotics who resort to using drugs and sheds light on the direction of the treatment to be followed up with those subjects

Keywords : Psychoanalytic research; Drugs; Supplementation; Jouissance.
