Abstract
Prolonged hospitalization of drug users in Therapeutic Communities (TC) has become a public policy in Brazil. The aim of this study was to understand and analyze the functioning of a TC, considering the activities carried out there, the relationships established and the intervention process. Five visits to a TC were carried out. These visits were registered in a field diary. The notes were analyzed seeking to understand discursive features of the functioning of the TC and the impact of its functioning on the subjectivity of the users. The activities were labor therapy and group activities, and the Christian religious believes were explored. Relations were hierarchical, using strategies of control, confrontation and construction of guilt. Activities positioned the users as impulsive, addicts and deviants. The influence of the limited access to consumer goods and citizenship rights in the life trajectories of the users were not taken into consideration. Their problems with drugs were treated only as something internal, creating only strategies towards reconstructing the user's identity.

Ahora que el fenómeno de la disciplinarización institucional está cada vez más marcado, Athenea Digital promueve la reflexión interdisciplinar en la tradición de las ciencias humanas y sociales. La revista aborda los fenómenos sociales contemporáneos en sus múltiples dimensiones (política, económica, cultural, comunicacional...) y valora la reflexión rigurosa sobre la articulación entre los diferentes dominios de la actividad humana. El principal objetivo de la revista es potenciar el diálogo y la innovación en los estudios sociales y culturales.
