ARAUJO, Jessica Batista. Psychosocial rehabilitation: between security and the ethics of existence. Rev. Polis Psique [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.3, pp.52-76. ISSN 2238-152X. https://doi.org/10.22456/2238-152X.90746.
The following article aims to map the psychosocial rehabilitation practices with users of alcohol and other drugs and think of the possibles resistances to the capture of life by publics policies. Using the methodology of cartography, I followed the daily routine of a CAPS ad from the interior of Goiás, recording the experience in a field diary. I came across all the theoretical and practical diversity of psychosocial rehabilitation, traversed by the prohibitionist and anti-prohibitionist diagrams. Analyzed within a neoliberal rationality, as Foucault brings, the practices of psychosocial rehabilitation of users of alcohol and other drugs closely follow the movements of the population modulating behaviors and drug consumption. However, it is also linked to the policy of harm reduction. It also allows subjectivation, which enables the construction of singular modes of existence, pervaded by self-care, and not simply inserted in a moral code.
