Redução de danos no CAPSAD: Impasses e perspectivas sob o ponto de vista dos familiares dos usuários

Abstract

This work refers to a research that investigated the harm reduction (HR) in a CAPSad in the midsized city of Minas Gerais. The research’s objective was to investigate what the relatives of the served users in a CAPSad know about the HR and what they consider being HR practices. The qualitative research was conducted using the semi-structured interview as the data collecting means and content analysis for the collected data processing in the interviews. Ten women in ages from 43 to 72 years old were interviewed. From the observed results it was perceived that the abstinence logic is still very present, appearing as a goal in all the interviews and that the health policies knowledge doesn’t goes to all the population, evidencing the need of strategies of awareness about those policies.
