The study aimed to characterize actions and activities aimed at social reintegration of drug-addicted living in therapeutic communities. Forty-three communities were evaluated in the state of Goiás, with the use of a semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the results showed that these communities have resident preparation mechanisms for therapeutic discharge and referral to the labor market. However, few activities are developed for inclusion in the labor market. Family’s involvement in treatment of residents is stimulated with joint visits and activities. Although the relevant work of communities, help from public policies is needed for social assistance to contribute to the reintegration of these individuals in society.

Keywords : Dependence; Drugs; Treatment; Social Reintegration.
