IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DE GRUPOS DE ACOLHIMENTO EM UM CENTRO DE ATENÇÃO PSICOSSOCIAL ÁLCOOL E OUTRAS DROGAS.

The implementation of host groups in a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and other Drugs, supported by a multidisciplinary team, proposes to monitor the service to the user and provide professionals with more information on the individual's life. It is believed to contribute positively to the rehabilitation of the users, providing them with new perspectives and life goals. The study aims to know and understand the design and implementation of host groups in a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Other Drugs. This narrative research focuses on the process of implementing host groups in the mental health service. Five meetings and a seminar were held with the team to think and structure the implementation of the host groups. Three host groups were designed and implemented in the service: "Who am I", which aims to get to know the users and their life stories; "Knowing a CAPS AD", which aims at a greater understanding of the service and understanding how monitoring and treatment occur; "What I like to do", proposing to get to know better the individual tastes and the daily activities of the users. The groups promoted a better adhesion of users to the service. They also strengthened the active listening process in social exchanges, therapeutic bonds, and the construction of the Singular Therapeutic Plan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
