MORENO BAPTISTA, César; ESPINOSA HERRERA, Gretel y ZAPATA PIEDRAHITA, Lorena. CRACK-COCAINE CONSUMPTION AND A ROUTE TO BEING HOMELESS: CHRONICLES AND SITUATIONS IN FAMILY EXPERIENCES. Investig. andina [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.39, pp.307-324. Epub 04-Feb-2021. ISSN 0124-8146.
The objective of this research is to analyze the behavior and interpersonal relationships of the family group in terms of the consumption of crack-cocaine, from the experience of three case studies. The method is a ethnographic study with a descriptive-qualitative cut which used semi-structured interviews that gave priority to the construction of narratives and life experiences regarding crack-cocaine. Research allows us to se that addiction to crack-cocaine might become a high risk for the breaking of interpersonal relationships in a work, family and community level. Likewise, it represents a determinant factor for those who become homeless. The research concludes that addiction to crack-cocaine is a painful and difficult experience for all the members of the family; it is a process in which the addict experiences physical and cognitive deterioration, having later effects in their relationship with the social environment, since they lose interaction abilities.
