“…El inicio temprano del consumo de drogas fue común en este y otros estudios (10,11) . Según lo informado por los usuarios de tres comunidades terapéuticas en Minas Gerais (19) (BR), donde la primera droga utilizada fue el alcohol a los 14.3 años, seguido de la marihuana a los 21.6 años. El consumo de alcohol como la droga de primera elección también se ha informado entre los usuarios de los centros de rehabilitación de drogas en Nepal (12) , seguido por el de marihuana (56.3%) y opioides (47.6%), con inicio de consumo entre 15 y 19 años (53.9%).…”

“…Como en otros estudios (13,15,19) , los problemas de naturaleza económica se plantearon como una consecuencia negativa en la vida de sus participantes, que también correspondía a la que se verifica aquí. Esto se debe al hecho de que el consumo indiscriminado de drogas psicoactivas no solo trae pérdidas de naturaleza familiar, sino que también resulta en pérdidas de naturaleza financiera.…”

“…Esto se debe al hecho de que el consumo indiscriminado de drogas psicoactivas no solo trae pérdidas de naturaleza familiar, sino que también resulta en pérdidas de naturaleza financiera. Estas pérdidas pueden contribuir aún más al aumento de la violencia, la vulnerabilidad social y la criminalidad, como lo señala una investigación realizada en una CT en el interior de Minas Gerais (19) .…”

Introducción: El consumo de drogas psicoactivas es cada vez mayor, precoz y abusivo, causando dependencia química. Esta dependencia requiere tratamiento y control. Uno de los lugares disponibles en Brasil para esa atención es el servicio comunitario terapéutico.Objetivo: Identificar el perfil de los usuarios de drogas psicoactivas que residen en comunidades terapéuticas.Métodos: Estudio descriptivo cuantitativo, transversal, realizado con usuarios de drogas de tres comunidades terapéuticas, en el interior de la región centro-oeste de Brasil. Para la recopilación de datos, se utilizó un cuestionario semiestructurado, cuyas respuestas se analizaron y analizaron en el programa BioEstat versión 5.0, luego de la aprobación ética de la Universidad de São Paulo, según la opinión de 2.487.000. Resultados: Participaron 21 hombres, adultos jóvenes, solteros, escolarización baja, desempleados y con religión. El uso de drogas fue precoz, a través del alcohol, tabaco y marihuana, usado por amigos y curiosidad. Hubo una historia de admisiones múltiples para tratar la dependencia química, y la comunidad terapéutica es el servicio más buscado. El conflicto familiar, la pérdida del tabajo remunerado y los problemas de salud mental, así como la forma en que el usuario considera el tratamiento recibido y la disposición a consumir drogas durante el tratamiento, se han asociado con el consumo de drogas. Conclusión: Conocer el perfil de los usuarios de drogas puede subsidiar acciones de salud dirigidas a satisfacer las demandas integrales de los usuarios, contribuyendo a la elaboración de políticas públicas y estrategias de rehabilitación que contribuyan a la adhesión al tratamiento. Introduction: The consumption of psychoactive drugs is increasing, precocious and abusive, causing chemical dependence. This dependence requires treatment and control. One of the places available in Brazil for this host is the therapeutic community service.Objective: to identify the profile of psychoactive drug users residing in therapeutic communities. Methods: cross-sectional, quantitative descriptive study with drug users from three therapeutic communities, located in the interior of the Central-West region of Brazil. For data collection, a semi-structured questionnaire was used, whose responses were analyzed and analyzed in the BioEstat version 5.0 program, after ethical approval by the University of Sao Paulo, under opinion 2,487,000. Results: 21 men, young adults, single, low schooling, unemployed and with religion participated. The use of drugs was precocious, through alcohol, tobacco and marijuana, used by friends and curiosity. There was a history of multiple admissions to treat chemical dependence, with the therapeutic community being the most sought after service. Family conflict, loss of reemployment, and problems with mental health, as well as the way in which the user considers the treatment received and the willingness to use drugs during treatment have been strongly associated with drug use. Conclusion: Knowing the profile of drug users can subsidize health actions aimed at meeting the integral demands of users, contributing to the elaboration of public policies and rehabilitation strategies that contribute to adherence to treatment.

Objective To estimate the prevalence and factors associated with the effect of alcohol on crack cocaine use and to analyze experiences related to combined use. Materials and methods: sequential mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) research, carried out between August 2014 and August 2015 with people who use crack. In the quantitative approach, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,062 participants. Factors associated with “alcohol use with the effect of increasing the effect of crack/crack craving” were estimated by multiple regression. In the qualitative approach, 39 interviews were conducted using Bardin’s content analysis technique. Results 871 (82.0%) participants reported consuming alcohol, among them, 668 (76.7%) used alcohol combined with crack: 219 (32.8%) reported feeling an effect of reduction in paranoia and/or crack craving and 384 (57.5%) reported feeling an increase in the effect of crack and in the craving to consume the drug. This relationship was also observed in the narratives of the people who use crack, with the possibility of a cyclic effect of consumption of the two substances. Those who related alcohol use to the effect of increasing crack craving (384) were more likely to use alcohol before crack (OR: 1.81; 95%CI: 1.13–2.89); to consume more than 20 stones daily (OR: 1.48; 95%CI: 1.01–2.16); to remain in abstinence from crack for less than one month (OR: 3.20; 95%CI: 1.91–5.35); to use dependence treatment services (OR: 1.85; 95%CI: 1.26–2.71); and to commit physical violence (OR:1.67; 95%CI:1.08–2.56). Conclusion The findings of this study indicate that the modulation of the effect of alcohol use on crack cocaine depends on the moment when the drugs are consumed, and the use of alcohol before crack consumption is associated with characteristics that suggest a greater vulnerability to patterns of harmful crack use. Even though combined use is referred to as a way of reducing the negative effects of crack, the damage of this association may be greater than its possible benefits.

It is estimated that 275 million people in the world between 15 and 64 years old used drugs of abuse in 2020. In the same year, the Brazilian Federal Police seized about 546,439.57 kg of marijuana and 91,234.87 kg of cocaine, demonstrating that the use and abuse of psychoactive substances are on the rise in everyday life. This study aimed to describe the profile of seizures of marijuana, cocaine and crack, carried out by the Civil Police, in the region of Betim in the state of Minas Gerais. This is a descriptive observational study, carried out on a documentary basis, in the years 2017 and 2018. The information was collected through the analysis of the final reports issued by the Betim Police Department, and the Social Defense Event Records (REDS). The results demonstrate that 568 definitive reports and REDS were analyzed, and the sociodemographic profile of the individual apprehended in connection with illicit drugs is composed mainly of men (86.4%), single (86.6%), with incomplete elementary education (33.2%), with a median age of 20 years. The 24 hour Police Station (88%) and the north region Police Station (22.7%) were where the largest seizures took place; illicit drug trafficking (85.6%) was the main crime related to these seizures, and marijuana was the most seized drug (51.1%). Knowledge of the profile of drug seizures in this region allows for the creation of prevention measures for the trafficking and use of illicit drugs, contributing to the improvement of public health and safety.
