Desmistificando o cuidado as pessoas em dependência de substâncias psicoativas: projeto de intervenção em saúde mental na comunidade Morro Vermelho - Alagoas

Abstract

The excessive use of drugs has been considered a major public health problem, with drug addicts being conceived by society as those who are out of control of legal and moral rules, leaving them within an imaginary that refers to irresponsibility, delinquency, and mental insanity, in a true demonization of their existence in social life, sometimes preventing adequate treatment for these people. This study aims to propose an intervention project to improve the quality of life of people suffering from chemical dependency in the coverage area of the Morro Vermelho Family Health Strategy, in the city of Mata Grande, Alagoas. The study population consisted of 474 of the 2734 program users, of both sexes, registered in the service. Data was collected through direct consultation of patients' records using the Quick Estimation Method. It was observed that the practice of use/abuse of alcohol and other drugs in the population of the Morro Vermelho community has a high prevalence of 17.4%. To prepare for the intervention project, the steps of Situational Strategic Planning were followed, after carrying out a bibliographical review on the topic under study and identifying problems (critical nodes).
