The drugs phenomenon is one of the greatest challenges countries are confronted with in the 21 st century. It is well known that drugs use and abuse influence and negatively affect the health of people, families and communities, as well as national and international development, social stability and security (1)(2) .The globalization process can direct or indirectly facilitate drugs trade, as well as the development of money laundry mechanisms, contributing to increased drugs consumption in different population groups. That makes the drugs phenomenon a global problem. Many countries have emphasized the association between drugs and terrorism and have direct or indirectly reinforced drugs control laws. In the context of the black market, drugs are considered a lucrative source of money; at the same time, this market can be associated with arms trade and violence against civilians and governments all over the world (3) .National policies highlight the importance of reducing drugs consumption, taking into account, for example, the risk of acquiring HIV/AIDS among injection drugs user, or greater accident risks, or the chronic damage that can be associated with drugs use (3) . Psychoactive substance consumption affects users' body and mind. These effects range from alterations in physiological functions to modified time and space perceptions, as well as alterations in states of awareness about the consumers' environment. It can be affirmed that drugs abuse and addiction result from a combination of three factors: a product (alcohol and other drugs), a person with his history and individual vulnerabilities and a social, cultural, political and economic context. In particular, it is fundamental to integrate the importance of social determinants of health and development into the analysis of and answers given to substance consumption, including the strong inequities that exist in the region. Likewise, it should be considered that many people present comorbidities due to addiction and mental health problems at the same time. In view of the above, a comprehensive approach is needed, which does not remain limited to an emphasis on the substance alone.Hence, the drugs phenomenon is an old problem in a new context. Countries face difficulties to control production and trade and reduce demand. That makes drugs use and abuse into a paramount theme on the national and international agenda, due to the damage they cause in countries' social, economic and political aspects.The current global context demands specialized professionals, who are capable of analyzing problems and presenting solutions and/or strategies with national and international perspectives, based on scientific data. Most OAS members states do not have specialized professional staff at their disposal, with scientific knowledge and sufficient research experience on drugs and related problems to work in national drugs commissions, research centers or academic professional training programs.In general, countries have neither established long-term programs or plannin...

“…Entende-se, atualmente, que o fenômeno das drogas se insere no âmbito da saúde coletiva, com abrangência nacional e internacional, e que se relaciona a complexa trama de fatores biopsicossociais. Estudos recentes indicam que as medidas de combate e controle devem ser associadas a ações multidisciplinares de prevenção e promoção da saúde, nos níveis individual, familiar e coletivo (1) (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6) .…”

This study aimed to identify the potential of community therapy (CT) as a method to address the problem of alcohol abuse in primary care from a user perspective. This study was carried out at the headquarters of the Quatro Varas Project, Fortaleza-CE, Brazil. This qualitative, ethnographic study used semi-structured interview and participant observation. Of the 20 interviewed participants, one was chosen for an in-depth interview. Two thematic units were constructed: the effects of the therapy on alcoholism and therapy as a social support resource for problems related to alcohol use. Results indicate that the dialogue established during therapy promotes re-signification of the problem and redirects the therapy course towards management of one's own life and search for citizenship. We concluded that CT favors the elaboration of a network of systemic relationships that broaden the understanding of problems caused by alcoholism and is an effective strategy to address the problem in the community health sphere.

“…Ainda, a ingestão de bebidas alcoólicas pode resultar em prejuízo físico, psicológico e social (3)(4) , sendo que a mortalidade é duas vezes maior entre os bebedores excessivos (5) . Cabe destacar que os transtornos decorrentes do uso do álcool, também penalizam a família do usuário, ocasionando altos níveis de conflito interpessoal, violência doméstica, abuso e negligência infantil, dificuldades financeiras e legais, além de agravos à saúde (6) . A motivação para alterar o hábito de ingerir de forma excessiva bebidas alcoólicas ocorre em estágios ou ciclos, como se fosse uma espiral de mudança na qual o paciente pode entrar em qualquer etapa ou dela sair.…”

RESUMO:Esta pesquisa visou a determinar as variáveis associadas à motivação de pacientes hospitalizados para evitar o consumo excessivo de bebidas alcoólicas. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, do qual participaram 1.050 pacientes do sexo masculino com idade entre 21 e 70 anos, internados em três hospitais da cidade de Pelotas, no período de 1° de novembro de 2000 a 15 de junho de 2001. A coleta dos dados foi realizada através da aplicação de questionários. Os achados revelaram que 180 pacientes eram bebedores excessivos, predominando, entre eles, as pessoas com menor poder aquisitivo e elevada faixa etária. Já os mais jovens mostraram-se pouco motivados para evitar tal hábito; por esse motivo, tal grupo deve ser considerado alvo prioritário das intervenções realizadas pelos profissionais de saúde, a fim de possibilitar sua sensibilização quanto aos transtornos ocasionados pelo abuso do álcool. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Alcoolismo; Motivação; Fatores de risco.
