The present article aims to report and discuss a training experience on the theme of drug use for health, social assistance and education professionals, articulated with the needs of the territories and communities, in order to allow contextualized community practices on the theme. For that, it was anchored in Community Health (SC), using Participatory Methods (MP) in the production of knowledge, evaluation and potentialization of the process. Even in a societal context antagonistic to the premises of both, it was demonstrated the potential of SC, materialized through MP, for joint, contextualized and comprehensive training and action on drug use and its multiple interfaces, circumscribed to socio-community reality and having in the transformation of its needs the guiding elements.
