ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES IN THE FIELD OF CARE TO USERS OF ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS

Abstract

This study focuses on the experience of intervention with drug users at an institution of reference. Discusses issues related to the practice of attention and care to drug users and identifies the brand of construction of institutional identity. The methodology focuses on interviews, documentary analysis and case study approach of with theoretical poststructuralist authors. We find that the plurality of strategies and interdisciplinary arrangements used by the institution to function as alternative means reframe the drug and reveal the actions against the modes of subjection to practices with drug of users, as well as interpretive readings about the psychosocial determinants of adherence.
