AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    Abstract

    This article presents part of the results of the ethnographic research that followed families of crack users from 2013 to 2017. The text seeks to describe dilemmas and management of mothers regarding what is offered to them as a treatment for their children’s chemical dependence. Based on the events experienced, the actions taken concerning the various proposed therapies, and the family narratives, this article seeks to follow the paths chosen by the interlocutors and addresses the experiences of mothers in the Recomeço Program, the drug policy platform of the State of São Paulo.
