Abstract

The following research addressed the issue related to the impact that the family has on the rehabilitation process, more specifically on how family dynamics can be a risk factor in this process. The central theme of this research was the family and its dynamics when one of its members is under the problem of substance use and consequently is hospitalized in a rehabilitation center. Six adult patients who were in the rehabilitation process were interviewed, as well as six mental health professionals, including psychologists and psychiatrists with experience in this area. The objective of this research was to analyze the incidence of family dynamics as a risk factor in the rehabilitation process in substance abuse patients based on literature reviews and interviews with specialists. As results, it was found that from the point of view of the specialists, family members who maintain a dysfunctional dynamic can influence as a risk factor within these contexts, and although at the time of interviewing the patients they agreed that their families have represented support, there are points that could be improved with respect to family coexistence.
