Abstract

This study aimed to get to know some visible and hidden meanings in drugs users' experience. The interviews were associated with the Projective Technique (free and thematic drawing), based on which we analyzed the subjective content and what was expressed by the users. The results demonstrated the existence of family deterioration, stigma and prejudice.
