O território, as redes e suas (im)potências: o cuidado aos usuários de álcool e outras drogas em um CAPSad

In the present work, we seek to carry out an analysis of the potential and possibilities of CAPS ad as an offer of care to people who make harmful use of alcohol and other drugs and its performance with the network, from an experience report in a CAPS ad of a city located in the interior of the state of São Paulo. This is an excerpt from a master’s research, in which we used Cartography as a methodological option. As the main challenge encountered, we present the network’s mismatches, both in its protocols and in the look at the use of alcohol and other drugs. We also evidenced the potentialities and inventiveness that make possible the creation of networks/rhizomes autonomous of the dominant networks, which operate intensifying the effects of the capitalist mode of production. We understand, therefore, the CAPS ad as a provisional institutional arrangement, or as a strategy, which, in its offerings, can become a network of emancipation, as well as a rhizome, susceptible to constant changes. The power of Psychosocial Care is, therefore, in the inventive dimension present in relationships and encounters and in breaking with the fragmenting processes of care, in order to guarantee the expansion of access to services for people who suffer so much from the effects of a society like ours
