“…Essas instituições legitimam a compreensão da necessidade de "normatização" das pessoas que fazem uso de drogas. Assim, ações em que os direitos das pessoas se encontram "temporariamente" suspensos para "receberem" uma "nova identidade" tem ganhado força, como a internação em CTs (Monteiro, 2013).…”

A internação prolongada de usuários de drogas em Comunidades Terapêuticas (CT) tem se tornado política pública. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer e analisar o funcionamento cotidiano de uma CT, considerando as atividades desenvolvidas, as relações estabelecidas e o processo de intervenção. Foram realizadas cinco visitas a uma CT, sendo estas registradas em caderno de campo. As anotações foram analisadas buscando-se compreender características discursivas do funcionamento destas e do impacto na subjetividade. As atividades desenvolvidas eram laborterapia e atividades grupais, sendo explorada a crença religiosa cristã. As relações eram hierarquizadas, com uso de estratégias de controle, culpabilização e confrontação. As atividades posicionavam os usuários como impulsivos, dependentes e desviantes. Não era levada em consideração a influência, nas trajetórias de vida, do pouco acesso aos bens de consumo e de cidadania, sendo a problemáti -ca da droga tratada apenas como algo interno, justificando as tentativas para reconstruir a identidade do usuário. Abstract Keywords Therapeutic Community Drug Use HospitalizationProlonged hospitalization of drug users in Therapeutic Communities (TC) has become a public policy in Brazil. The aim of this study was to understand and analyze the functioning of a TC, considering the activities carried out there, the relationships established and the intervention process. Five visits to a TC were carried out. These visits were registered in a field diary. The notes were analyzed seeking to understand discursive features of the functioning of the TC and the impact of its functioning on the subjectivity of the users. The activities were labor therapy and group activities, and the Christian religious believes were explored. Relations were hierarchical, using strategies of control, confrontation and construction of guilt. Activities positioned the users as impulsive, addicts and deviants. The influence of the limited access to consumer goods and citizenship rights in the life trajectories of the users were not taken into consideration. Their problems with drugs were treated only as something internal, creating only strategies towards reconstructing the user's identity.Capellato Melo, Mariane & Mendonça Corradi-Webster, Clarissa (2016). Análise do funcionamento de comunidade terapêutica para usuários de drogas. Athenea Digital, 16(3), 379-399. http://dx.doi.org/10.5565/rev/athenea.2012 Introdução O uso de drogas constitui-se como um fenômeno presente ao longo da história (Torcato, 2014). Entretanto, sentidos negativos sobre este uso (danoso, imoral, fraqueza) vêm fundamentando práticas combativas, aparadas pelos discursos moral, religioso e o psiquiátrico asilar. Com estes discursos, pessoas que fazem determinados usos de drogas foram sendo consideradas desviantes da norma, havendo um processo de exclusão social e de ausência de cuidados que as atingem continuamente, principalmente as populações de periferia, pobres e negras (Fernandes & Fuzinatto, 2012; Ministério da Saúde, 379

“…In addition to violence, the use of psychoactive substances is strong stressor for the mental health of LGBT members, resulting in suicidal behaviors [39]. In our study, homosexual individuals who used the three types of drugs (CNS disturbing) showed association to suicide attempts for the disturbing drugs, since they, in their mechanism of action, act disrupting the CNS functioning, by causing delusions and hallucinations [15,16], increasing the chances for suicide ideation and attempts. In fact, CNS disturbing drugs, such as ecstasy, present greater association for suicide attempts than other types of drugs.…”

“…The adopted classification followed the recommendations of the French researcher Louis Chaloult, that classified drugs in 1971 into three groups: i) CNS stimulants, ii) CNS depressants and iii) disturbing CNS, which, respectively, accelerate brain function, reduce brain activities and distort the user's perception [15,16]. In this classification, regarding the drugs listed in the study, tobacco, painkillers, cocaine/crack and amphetamines are classified as stimulants; alcohol, tranquilizers and inhalants/solvents as depressants; and marijuana, ecstasy and hallucinogens as disturbing.…”

Background: This study examined the prevalence of violence suffered, drug use and risk behaviors in homosexual and bisexual individuals. Method:Cross-sectional, quantitative study involving 296 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual individuals in the municipalities of Crato and Juazeiro do Norte, South of Ceará state, Brazil.Findings: Psychological/verbal abuse is the most prevalent and depressants of the central nervous system are chosen for consumption after victimization. Depressant and stimulant drugs were associated to dependence and risk behaviors in sexual minorities. Conclusion:Gay and bisexual people use drugs after suffering violence, with an association between drug use and developing risk behaviors. Further investigations inherent in these associations are necessary, since other factors may interact to violence, drug use and risk behaviors in sexual minorities.

“…In this sense, it is suggested that by disturbing the normal functioning of the central nervous system (CNS) and causing hallucinations, delusions, and illusions, these substances may predispose people to suicide. Drugs that disturb the CNS, such as ecstasy, have a higher association with suicide attempts than other types of drugs (Dos Santos, 2013;Monteiro, 2013).…”

Introduction. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transvestite, and transgender (LGBT) people are affected by prejudice and psychological, physical, and/or sexual violence due to their sexual orientation. Objective. To analyze the association between violence, drug use, and suicide in LGBT people. Method. We interviewed 316 LGBT people from two cities of the Brazilian Northeast by means of a structured instrument. This included questions about sociodemographic data, sexual orientation, type of violence, type and quantity of drugs consumed, and suicide. Results. There was a positive association between physical violence and anabolic consumption (p = .001) and tranquilizers (p = .012). In relation to psychological and verbal violence, there was a positive association with the use of tranquilizers (p = .021) and negative with the use of amphetamines (p = .027). Suicide attempts were associated with having experienced physical (p = .03) and sexual (p = .037) violence. Drug use, especially ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, and tranquilizers, was also associated with suicide attempts (p = .002, p = .031, p < .001, p < .001, respectively). The participants who had already attempted suicide were more vulnerable to experience violence and consume drugs within 30 days prior to the interview (p < .001). Discussion and conclusion. Psychological/verbal violence showed to be associated with the use of amphetamines, while physical violence was associated with a higher consumption of tranquilizers and anabolic steroids. Suicide attempts were more common among participants who had suffered physical violence and who were users of substances such as ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, and tranquilizers.
