OLIVEIRA, Aislan José de. Disparity in the conceptions of psychoactive substance addiction treatment: reflexes and implications among professionals, models and institutions present in the care services. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) [online]. 2017, vol.13, n.2, pp. 93-100. ISSN 1806-6976.  http://dx.doi.org/10.11606/issn.1806-6976.v13i2p93-100.

The objective in this research was to understand the theoretical background in the discourse of 17 mental health professionals working in three care models for drug addicts. The data were collected through a questionnaire and classified in three analysis categories, according to the theoretical-epistemological framework of each approach and institution, being: the biomedical model (clinical), the sociocultural model (psychosocial care center) and the psychosocial model (therapeutic communities). It was concluded that the participating professionals do not present a specific definition regarding the addict and treatment concepts of drug addiction. Also, their approaches can sometimes be contradictory to the methods and ideologies of the institutions analyzed.
