RESUMO
A qualidade de vida é um conceito multidimensional que mede a saúde social, mental e física. Reconhecendo o número reduzido de investigações que examinam este conceito em sujeitos consumidores de drogas, considerou-se importante o estudo mais detalhado desta dimensão na população toxicodependente, procurando saber se ela é mediada pelos programas de tratamento. Neste sentido, foram inquiridos 85 utentes em acompanhamento na consulta externa do CAT de Gaia, através dos seguintes instrumentos: MAP (Maudsley Addiction Profile) BSI (Inventário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos) e WHOQOL-bref (World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment Instrument). Verificou-se que a integração em programas terapêuticos se constitui como elemento fundamental na melhoria da percepção que os individuos apresentaram em relação à sua qualidade de vida.
