COSTA, Pedro Henrique Antunes da et al. Survey of the care network for drug users: An exploratory study. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.2, pp. 160-171. ISSN 1413-294X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20170017.

The study surveyed and analyzed the care network for drug users of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. The proceedings were: 36 interviews and data collection about services with managers/professionals and on databases. One hundred eighty four care services were identified, with 114 of the health sector, 16 from social care and 54 community resources. Despite the heterogeneity of devices and approaches, there was a hegemony of non-governmental service provision in the care of drug users. The following conclusions are made: need of expanding primary care network; deployment of more Psychosocial Care Centers for alcohol and drugs; expansion of psychosocial care network; rearrangement of care to women, children and adolescents; expansion of the emergency and urgent care network; and greater distribution of services, especially the governmental ones that are specialized for drug users.
