This qualitative study aimed to identify social support networks among individuals dependent on psychoactive substances and to characterize the bonds that form these networks. The study was developed by means of focal groups. The results showed that these persons’ support networks are seriously compromised and indicated needs that should receive greater attention in the interventions aimed at the psychosocial rehabilitation of these individuals.
