In the last years society has watched a fast expansion of crack cocaine use, especially by adolescents and young adults. The need of listening these subjects in a way of acquiring insights about their situation is made clear. In order to attend this need we developed a descriptive-exploratory qualitative research whose main target was a therapeutic group for adolescents crack users that occurred in the Center of Infant-Juvenile Psychosocial Attention (CAPSi), located in a countryside city of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Supported by an expost-facto modality, we analyzed documents produced in this institution. The result was a cartography that went along with the adolescents’ discourses through the “rocky path”: the places, treatments, persons, ideas and the moments they talk about.
