FOSSI, Luciana Barcellos  and  GUARESCHI, Neuza Maria de Fátima. The treatment model of therapeutic communities: confessional practices in shaping subjects. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.1, pp.94-115. ISSN 1808-4281.

This article discusses the specificity of treatment in therapeutic community licensed under the Single Health System as well as their effects on the production of the subject drug users through the design analysis of four therapeutic treatment available on the internet community. From the Integrated Plan to Combat Crack, published by the federal government in 2010, public drug policy in Brazil included treatment in therapeutic communities, through public funding as a strategy of care to users of alcohol and other drugs. Thus, we present the structure and functioning of these institutions as well as the treatment model for drug users, based on the methodology of the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. We point out in this way, the practice of confession in the treatment for drug users, and the link between the religious and moral technologies of discipline and biopolitics shaping the health care model in this context.

Keywords : therapeutic community; drug; biopolitics.
