The study aimed to understand the perspective of women in drug recovery on treatment in a therapeutic community. It was conducted in March-April 2016 in a reference therapeutic community northeast of Mato Grosso, with 15 women. We used semi-structured interviews with aid script and data analysis, applied to content analysis. It was observed that women expressed sorrow, anguish and distress as they are separated from their families during treatment, making it difficult to accession and continued the established therapy. Furthermore, they demonstrated dissatisfaction as the form of treatment carried out by not considering the individual characteristics of each woman. However, acknowledge that their current conditions in the therapeutic community are markedly better. New approaches can be incorporated in this type of service, prioritizing the active listening of women and their families in the host and the construction of the treatment plan.
