Reflection on the policy of the brazilian ministry of health for the care of alcohol and other drugs users under the view of the Sociology of Absences and Emergencies. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) [online]. 2012, vol.8, n.1, pp. 9-16. ISSN 1806-6976.

IN 2003, the National Policy of the Brazilian Ministry of Health was implemented to care for users of alcohol and other drugs. This is a interpretative and documental research with the objective of reflecting on the refereed Policy, under the theoretical reference of the Sociology of Absences and Emergencies. The Policy came from the social movements that for more than two decades have demanded inclusive forms of care, since the centric-hospital model was exclusion. The against-hegemonic origins give the Policy legitimacy, which proposes the psychosocial rehabilitation and the social emancipation of people with existence-suffering. The action practiced by the mental healthcare teams in the territories is what will ensure its success.
