Abstract

Alcohol abuse is a multi-determined phenomenon and the repercussions cover different spheres of life, including significant social relationships. Considering specifically the female audience, this study aimed to understand the structural characteristics and functions of the significant social networks of women who abuse alcohol. To this end, qualitative research was carried out with 11 women with a history of alcohol abuse monitored at CAPSad. Narrative interviews and the construction of a network map were used as instruments for data collection. The results demonstrated that the participants’ significant social networks were mainly made up of family members and CAPSad professionals and presented limitations and weakened bonds and their functions. The need to strengthen the links and functions of social networks for this audience is evident.
