Política nacional sobre drogas: um estudo de caso no Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Álcool e Drogas (Caps AD) e em uma instituição do terceiro setor, localizadas em um município de Minas Gerais.

Abstract

Drugs become deserving of public intervention when trafficking-related aspects such as deaths and violence, and the abuse of licit/illicit substances result in side effects that negatively affect society and become a social problem. Through this, drugs become objects of public policies, through which the State acquires legitimacy to act, in order to inhibit/diminish the side effects of this problem. Thus, the National Drug Policy (NDP) establishes strategies to reduce the supply and demand of drugs in the country, as well as the practices of public and private interventions for treatment, recovery and reintegration of drug addicts. Therefore, the question that instigates this research is: how is NDP performed by the Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Drugs (Caps AD) and by a third sector institution (IT) at the municipal level? The objective of this work is to analyze the implementation of NDP, through a case study in Caps Ad and in an IT that performs activities of reception, treatment and recovery of drug addicts, in a city of Minas Gerais. To this end, the following specific objectives were established: to make the historical outline of the Global and National Drug Control Policy; and to analyze how the practices of public and civil society interventions, in the area of treatment, recovery and reintegration of drug addicts, contribute to achieve the guidelines and guidelines proposed in NDP. Regarding the methodology, it is a qualitative and exploratory-descriptive research, which used, as technical procedures, bibliographic, documentary, field research and case study. For data collection, non-participant observation was performed in the selected institutions, field notebook and semi-structured interviews with the professionals responsible for carrying out actions related to NDP. As a result, it was found that the practices of public intervention and civil society, within the municipality analyzed, contribute to the treatment guidelines and guidelines are reached, but not comprehensively. However, it is understood that the Caps Ad and the IT analyzed, acting in isolation, have limitations in the implementation and execution of the observations and guidelines proposed in NDP, due to insufficient financial and/or technical resources. Thus, the articulation and cooperation between these institutions, health policies, social assistance, education and private initiative, will promote the intersectoriality of drug actions at the municipal level. Thus, the intersectoriality will provide the structuring and strengthening of a care and attention network focused on the abuse and/or dependence of alcohol and other drugs, in which more comprehensive, effective and effective actions for the treatment, recovery and recovery can be implemented and social reinsertion.
