The objective of this project is to contribute to a better understanding on the drug addiction recovery process, on the resources that promote this course of action, and on what this process represents in the life of individuals. In order to characterize these three dimensions, two biographic narratives were collected and were subsequently analyzed on a qualitative basis. Following result analysis, the most highlighted themes are presented as follows: peer support, spirituality, social relationships, empowerment and the development of community-relevant activities. As a conclusion of the present study, a consideration on the practical implications of this work was made. Furthermore, its limitations are also discussed, as well as the need for further study on the understanding of the drug addiction recovery process.
