Método: Pesquisa quantitativa partindo da coleta e análise de dados, que teve para a condução da coleta de dados a aplicação de um questionário sociodemográfico e o Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test. Resultados: No total foram 46 participantes, sendo a maioria homens brancos de baixa escolaridade com a média de idade de 45 anos, o uso de substância mais prevalente foi o de tabaco, álcool e cocaína e metade dos entrevistados já haviam realizado o teste para saber se tem tuberculose. Conclusão: O alto uso de substância acarreta no enraizamento dessa população na situação de rua e esses achados colaboram para que serviços de saúde conheçam as características da população e guiem seus cuidados, sendo necessário mais trabalhos com essa temática.
