Since the end of the 20th century, the phenomenon of drug addiction has been rising so intensely that it is becoming a social phenomenon. From the psychoanalytic point of view, it seems to be similar to what happened with hysteria at the end of the 19th century. How drug addiction are understood from the psychoanalytic clinic? This paper tries to answer this question by taking into account some case reports in order to carry out a conceptual analysis of the drug in relation to the symptom, this as a response to the cultural discontent, with reference to the sexual and traumatic, and in its corresponding function according to the psychic structure. It finally presents some orientations to the cure in drug addiction, in which free association and abstinence of the analyst are preserved.
