Resumen
In Brazil, prohibitionist policies and laws are in constant conflict with the Damage Reduction
(RD) policy and the psychosocial care model, built with the Psychiatric Reform, aimed at taking
care of people suffering from drug use. In this field of tensions, we encounter several problems
to ensure humanized and free care. Among them, the high consumption of psychiatric drugs
and pharmacological therapy as the main treatment strategy, whose participation of people in
the decisions about their treatment and their access to prescribing information are minimal. To
address this issue, the Autonomous Medication Management (GAM) strategy was developed
in Canada. Although translated and adapted to the Brazilian context, there is still the challenge
of understanding and assessing its relevance and potentiality in the field of alcohol and other
drugs, in its specificities. In order to broaden the discussion to licit and illicit substances,
prescribed and not prescribed, considering the ethical north of RD, the research aimed to follow
the GAM experience in a CAPSad of the city of Natal-RN, mapping its limits and potentialities.
From an intervention research of cartographic inspiration, it was possible to follow the
experience and produce three plans of analytical composition: 1) From the daily and
micropolitical experiences of care, pointing to a dilution in the boundaries between these
substances in the perspective of an “autonomous management of multiple substances”; 2) GAM
as a group device, which allows operating the ethics of RD in the collective and cogestive scope,
from the transversality between different knowledge and practices and 3) GAM as a strategy to
promote collective autonomy with the setting up of support networks among the participants.
In conclusion, the meeting between GAM and RD calls us to the ethical-political commitment
to the drugs issue, to the antimanicomial and anti-prohibitionist struggles and, above all, to
people's lives.
