Abstract
OBJECTIVES
to reflect on the daily life of family members dependent on psychoactive substances and the role of health professionals in Primary Care.
METHODS
a descriptive investigation outlined in Maffesoli's phenomenological approach, carried out at a Basic Health Unit in Minas Gerais with eight family members dependent on psychoactive substances. Sociodemographic characterization data and in-depth interviews were collected and analyzed with support of NVivo Pro11® software. All ethical and legal aspects were met.
RESULTS
physicians were the professionals most mentioned in participants' statements, who took on a dubious role with other health professionals: welcoming (positive perceptions about care received) and neglect (negative perceptions).
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
dependence on psychoactive substances imposes a burden on persons, their family members and health professionals. The role of establishing good relationships in the triad professionals-users-family members of primary care is inseparable in favor of treatment and preservation of their mental health.
