Abstract

O artigo objetivou avaliar o atendimento a usuários de drogas no contexto da rede de atenção em saúde mental a partir de uma Estratégia Saúde da Família no município de Porto Alegre-RS. O método foi qualitativo (Pesquisa Avaliativa de Quarta Geração) e os dados foram coletados no período de setembro de 2010 a março de 2011, por meio de entrevistas e observações de campo. Os sujeitos desse estudo foram 19 trabalhadores. Os resultados revelaram (des)conexões do serviço com outros pontos de atenção de saúde mental do município estudado, além de evidenciar precariedade de estratégias voltadas ao atendimento dos usuários de drogas. Este estudo poderá gerar dispositivos que vislumbrem uma real transformação nas práticas em saúde, além da consolidação de uma rede de cuidados que considera os indivíduos em seu contexto social.
