We used a script for semi structured interview. Analysis of the data followed the content analysis technique by proposed by Minayo. Family and social relations, family structure and family communication were related to the initiation of drug use by the institutionalized youngsters. The studied group presented several unfavorable events at the home environment, which may have been a. inducing factor on the drug abuse: precarious socioeconomic conditions; loss of family member in childhood by death; diseases in the family, especially the use of alcohol and drugs; fights and separation of parents; physical and psychological intra-family violence; social violence and coexistence with the crime. It is concluded that the identification of factors, by family members, which led the youngster to the use of drug is on the overvaluation of peer group relationship and to a lesser extent to lack of parental affection. Parents did not feel mutually responsible by the initiation of their children on drugs.

Summary
Em sua maioria, do sexo feminino (09) e sete eram mães dos jovens. O fato do responsável pelo jovem não possuir união estável pode ter sido um fator facilitador de desentendimento nas relações familiares, pois no grupo estudado a recomposição familiar foi em torno da figura da mãe, e estas mulheres afirmaram conflitos entre os jovens e seus padrastos. Todas as famílias utilizavam serviços do Sistema Único de Saúde, pois a renda familiar variou de um e meio a sete salários, sendo que a maioria ganhava menos de dois salários mínimos mensais. Grande parte das famílias afirmou praticar lazer familiar, por meio de almoço aos domingos, destas famílias, apenas uma realizava atividades adicionais como pesca e festas. Todos relataram que estes encontros ocorriam antes do envolvimento do jovem com a droga, pois, após o início do uso, Bernardi CCF, Oliveira MLF os jovens se recusavam a participar das atividades familiares e geralmente “estavam nas ruas”. Se o jovem aderir a uma denominação religiosa e envolver-se com padrões de religiosidade, possivelmente irá aderir a um conjunto de valores, símbolos, comportamentos e práticas sociais[13]
