Abstract

To analyze the access to the Psychosocial Care Network for rural residents with problems related to alcohol abuse and other drugs. Qualitative research, based on the Empowerment Evaluation framework. Data collection took place from March to December 2017 and was carried out through triangulation of qualitative methods with 42 Psychosocial Care Network workers in a municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data analysis was performed by thematic analysis. The challenges of access are identified due to cultural issues and the lack of resources to structure the network in its connection with rural territories. Support strategies for access include articulation with other services through matrix support. The access to the network is precarious for prevention and continuity of care. It is suggested a greater articulation of the network with the rural teams and an investment in the structure of the network.
