Abstract

The study focuses on reflection on treatment, rehabilitation and social inclusion of abusive users of alcohol, who call in the central square of the municipality of Lajeado-TO, in "street situation". The basis of the work was based on the processes of construction and implementation of public policies to fight against alcoholism and health promotion in the context of public policies for attention to alcoholism in Brazil. The objectives of this study are to seek public policies to combat alcoholism, reduce the attractiveness of socially permitted drug use (alcohol), replace social activities, social workshops, create strategies to reduce harm-DR, based on the data analyzed. On two main axes; the first related to a brief historical context of Public Policy on Drugs, Alcohol and its interface with Health promotion, and the second about Health promotion without context of harmful alcohol consumption. It is a qualitative research that follows a case study, with an empirical contribution from the coordinates of participatory research and action-research, of a critical-dialectic nature. It is based on the recognition of treatment in Mental Health from the logic of Social Policy as a universal right and duty of the State, and the responsibility of its intervention with users of alcohol and other drugs. As research sources constituted a recovery of the literature on the use of drugs in social reality, four official documents and fifteen articles for analysis were selected. Many of the interpretative lines originated in the Supervised Internship practices of Social Work. The relevance of the research is based on the possibility of considering public attention policies integrated to alcohol users and the legitimation of public policies to confront alcoholism.
