OBJECTIVE: to describe the future perspectives of drug abusers and their perceptions about life before and during treatment for addiction. METHOD: qualitative descriptive-exploratory research conducted at the Center for Psychosocial Care - Alcohol and Drugs. 28 subjects were heard using focal group. The reports were submitted to thematic analysis. RESULTS: three categories emerged: "Inauthentic living: perceptions of life before treatment", "Reencountering the way to exist: perceptions of life during treatment" and "Returning to dream: future perspectives during treatment". FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: in order to understand this scenario, it is necessary to intervene in the problem in an intersectoral way, including not only the health services, but also the other institutions.
