This study sought to qualitatively evaluate
the perception of crack users regarding family groups. It
is an excerpt from a qualitative study undertaken in 2012
in a Psychosocial Care Center – Alcohol and Drugs, in the
South of Brazil. It used the theoretical framework of Fourth
Generation Evaluation, with the Hermeneutic-Dialectic
Circle as its methodological device, through observations
and interviews held with 12 crack users. The Constant
Comparative Method was used in the analysis, which
generated the unit of meaning of Family Group. The group
was evaluated by the crack users as an important space
for the family members, serving as a source of listening,
relieving feelings by expressing grievances, information,
and instrumentalizing them in how to deal with the crack
users in the home. It is suggested that the substitute services
should make varying hours available for family groups, so
as to loyalize the families in these spaces and promote the
continuity of the treatment and the beneficial effects for
the crack users.
