Sumario:Descriptive qualitative research conducted in an in-patient rehabilitation center for drug users in the state of Paraná, Brazil, in 2012, which aimed to identify the causes of these patients' relapses based on intrapersonal and interpersonal determinants perceived by family members. Nineteen (19) semi-structured interviews were carried out with the family members of drug users who were undergoing treatment. Results were analyzed according to Marlatt and Witkiewitz's intrapersonal and interpersonal determinants and organized in thematic categories by means of Qualitative Data Interpretation. Self-efficacy, motivation, coping, emotional states, craving as intrapersonal determinants, and social support as an interpersonal determinant emerging from the family members' accounts, with the exception of the intrapersonal determinant of outcome expectancy. It was therefore concluded that the identfication of such determinants in the treatment of chemical dependency may help health professionals to develop strategies to prevent drug users' relapses.
