O cuidado na atenção psicossocial às juventudes em uso de drogas: itinerários

Abstract

The present research brings a reflection on Care based on listening to young people linked to a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and other drugs - CAPS AD, located in the city of Sao Goncalo, metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. The inclination for this research starts from the experience of the author who, while also young, took care of this specific group for some time at CAPS AD, in the territories and scenes of use of the municipality, in addition to being a cultural activist with youths. As a qualitative research methodology, semi-structured interviews, participant observation and notes from the field diary were used. As a strategy for designing the caregivers' networks, the Therapeutic Itinerary was used. The care of adolescents and young people has been a challenge to think about comprehensiveness. Even backed by the Law as social subjects, historical health interventions are not uncommon and do not consider the role of adolescents or young people in the construction of care acts, individually or collectively. This research brings some excerpts from the narratives produced from the interviews, so that the modes of care and psychosocial care directed at young people using drugs are considered, which, immersed in a drug policy that prohibits some drugs and stimulates others, places them in situations of lethal risk from firearms more than the use of drugs depending on their social markers, which also impact access to health services. The purpose of this research is not to give voice to vulnerable young people, as they always had, but to show a little of what was heard from the limits of the research cut and to think about possible (and intersectoral) paths in care based on autonomy and bonding , bringing some reflections from the place of researcher and also as a user of SUS, resident of the municipality and activist, defending a way of listening to young people from another place than the immature or transition to adult life, but as subjects who sometimes need hands to walk their processes, just like anyone else
