Abstract

The family unit in the context of dependence on psychoactive substances suffers impacts on its functionality, which requires it to seek to reorganize, face and manage such adversities, in order to stabilize itself emotionally and functionally, overcoming such difficulties and strengthening its resilience. Therefore, it is believed that there is a correlation between family functionality and resilience, which justifies the present research.
