Delineamento do perfil das instituições de assistência ao dependente químico e sua família no Brasil a partir das informações disponibilizadas nos sites

Abstract

The present research is a documentary analysis that investigates the sites of institutions that offer services to drug users, licit or illicit. It aims to outline the profile of the institutions in Brazil that provide assistance to the Chemical Dependent and their families, using as a search tool the information made available on the Web sites. A form developed and applied by the researcher was used to evaluate and compile the accessible information on the sites. The study notes that sites communicate poorly, not containing adequate detail to support the family and dependents in the process of choosing treatment. For the theoretical basis, we approached basic concepts about Chemical Dependency, the Problem of Chemical Dependence in the Dependent and Family Perspective, and the available Information about Treatment. We sought to confront the findings with relevant literature. The results showed the prevalence of private institutions, in which the main intervention model is abstinence. The male gender has a predominance among the dependents, as well as voluntary hospitalization. The research evidenced that the information made available through the sites is not satisfactory, many are superficial, without further details of the treatment and service offered.
