In Brazil, the theme of drugs has been approached by different theoretical trends, in particular, from the perspective of public health as opposed to prohibitionism. Such trends permeate the construction of national policy in this area in the Brazilian context, which has suffered from the dismantling of social policies and the commodification of health. This article is about a research in which interviews were conducted with drug users, family members, professionals and managers, at different levels of the psychosocial care network. This study allowed to discuss the advances and obstacles to the implementation of policies in the area, in addition to highlighting the importance of integrality in the offer and access to policies, as well as intersectoriality as a pillar to achieve comprehensive care for drug users. It also reinforces the importance of the popular struggle for a policy based on human rights and that understands the use of drugs in their complexity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
