Objective: to identify the factors associated with suicide attempts by people with substance use disorders undergoing treatment at the Psychosocial Care Centers for Alcohol and Other Drugs. Method: observational and cross-sectional study carried out with 137 people with substance use disorders undergoing treatment at Psychosocial Care Centers for Alcohol and Other Drugs in a capital city in the southern region of Brazil. Data were collected between April and November 2018 by structured interview and subjected to descriptive, univariate, and multiple quantitative analysis. Results: 51.8% of participants had at least one suicide attempt at some point in their lives. Active suicidal thoughts with intent and planning remained independently associated with the history of attempted suicide (PR: 2.87; CI: 1.04-7.91; p: 0.041). In the univariate analysis, there was an association between suicide attempt and days of physical problems, intensity of suicidal ideation, preparatory acts, depressive feelings, family history of mental disorder, hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital, importance of mental health treatment and medication prescription. Conclusion: more severity of suicidal ideation was identified as a factor associated with a history of suicide attempt. It emphasizes the importance of active listening in professional health practice, the therapeutic bond and reception in health care services.
