Abstract

Objective: To know the future projections of adolescent crack users assisted at the Psychosocial Care Center. Method: Qualitative research carried out with 13 adolescents assisted at a Psychosocial Care Center for users of alcohol and other drugs, in a city in southern Brazil, during the second semester of 2016. An interview and Comprehensive Analysis of the data was carried out from the framework of Schütz's Social Phenomenology. Results: As the future projections reported: resisting the influence of the drug and staying in treatment; rescue oneself and (re)build family and social relationships; resuming studies and (re)entering work; live a little longer. Conclusion: The “reasons for” the social behaviors of teenage crack users undergoing treatment reveal a fragile adolescence, but with the potential to project the transformation of their “lifeworld”. By understanding the adolescents' individualities, the multidisciplinary team can build a unique therapeutic project.
