ABSTRACT
Addictions produce different clinical manifestations, causing
serious health, legal and socio-economic complications.
However, many remain undiagnosed. The poor global therapeutic
response is derived from the heterogeneous nature of
the problem; in addition to its severity, comorbidity, motivation,
treatment duration, affective-emotional states, personality
traits, adaptation skills, impulsiveness, etc. Community
supply of services must consider the natural history of the disorder,
information, awareness, and early detection strategies,
as well as the interpersonal systems involved. The humanist
framework that hosts it helps patients understand and manage
their disease, making more likely the transformation of the
person-object into a person-subject, through the control of
the symptoms and improving self-esteem and security. This
proposal offers a scientific view, unification of language and
diagnostic purposes and goals, and the genesis of understanding
and overcoming the resistance of the protagonists,
fostering the institutional accomplishment of the task; better
and more specific procedures that benefit the broad spectrum
of case management, where psychotherapeutic modalities
complement the pharmacological management and
promote relapse prevention and productive abstinence. The
institutions must assume operational frameworks to monitor
staff, from their training to the specific job function, and the
fulfillment of the responsibilities inherent to their actions. A
National Program for the Integral Treatment of Addictions
is required, which attachment to ethical norms supports
professionalization and produces a worthy experience and
beneficial for all those involved.
