ROBERTO, Clarice Sampaio et al. Drogas e trabalho: uma proposta de intervenção nas organizações. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2002, vol.22, n.1, pp.18-29. ISSN 1414-9893.

In this article we present the proposal of legal and illegal drugs use approach, at workplace. The intervention report and the respective appreciation start from an assistance work that took in a great public enterprise, which wished a therapeutic and preventive project for the problem approach. As an answer, a specific institutional policy was developed, based on the following tripod: the establishment of a guiding routine for the employees approach, concerning drug use at workplace; the inscription of treatment places and the creation of committees leaded by employees in charge of the program conduction, after the end of the assistance work. We emphasize the importance of a great number of workers in the program, specially those with power of decision, in order to maintain and implement a Program, as well as the need of creating a policy that intervenes in what is already established and that considers the administrative, the operational and the health spheres. So, a difference is established on the way the problem had been treated in the last years, oscillating between negligence and punishment.
