Sumario:The objective is to know the perception of family members of chemical dependents, of a therapeutic community, about family codependency. This is a qualitative research whose sample with eight relatives. Data collection was done through the semi-structured interview and the use of the field diary in the period of May and June of 2017, focusing on the family’s perception about coexistence with the dependent, the risk factors for the onset of codependence and the most frequent characteristics of codependents. Through the discursive textual analysis, it was verified that the relatives were identified as codependents, from the characteristics presented, among them: fear, guilt, excess of care / control and insecurity. The functioning of the family member with the chemical dependent is related to the forms of interaction established with the whole and not only to the one who is supposed to be responsible for the dysfunctional family. Codependence points to a broad and complex relational process, which is in constant communication with several contexts, especially the social one. Thus, it is necessary to understand human relations, considering the natural and social sciences, realizing the constant interconnection between the environment and people.
