Abstract(s)
A avaliação da eficácia das Comunidades Terapêuticas para o tratamento do consumo problemático de drogas apresenta resultados muito divergentes, sendo que existe pouco consenso relativamente aos indicadores e metodologias utilizados. Estes, habitualmente, excluem das avaliações uma dimensão centrada nas perspetivas dos ex-utentes sobre os programas implementados e fatores que nesses programas mais contribuíram para o êxito ou fracasso dos resultados da intervenção. Este estudo procura reunir evidência sobre a eficácia dos resultados do programa Portage implementado pela Cleanic em Portugal, a partir das perspetivas dos seus ex-utentes sobre a experiência de tratamento e processo de intervenção focando-se em três grandes dimensões: percurso pessoal; satisfação da experiência do programa; e vivência do suporte social. Através de metodologia qualitativa realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas a 9 participantes, 5 do sexo masculino e 4 do sexo feminino, com idades compreendidas entre os 22 e os 52 anos de idade. Os resultados obtidos mostram que todos os participantes se encontram abstinentes, a maioria por um longo período de mais de 5 anos. Quanto à satisfação da experiência do programa, numa dimensão relacional, os participantes avaliam positivamente a relação entre pares e com a equipa técnica. Não obstante, ao classificarem o tratamento como bastante desafiador, todos os participantes recomendam vivamente o programa. Por fim, a maioria dos participantes afirma que a disponibilidade do suporte social e uma boa rede de apoio, potenciam melhores resultados no tratamento.
Research on the evaluation of the effectiveness of Therapeutic Communities for the treatment of problematic drug use shows very divergente results, in which there is few consensus regarding the indicators and methods used. These usually exclude from the evaluations a dimension focused on the former patients perspectives about implemented programms and factors that, in these programs, most contributed to the sucess or failure of the intervention outcomes. Thus, the following study persuits to gather evidence about the outcomes effectiveness on the Portage program implemented by Cleanic in Portugal, from the perspectives from its former patients about treatment experiences and intervention process, focusing on three major dimensions: personal journey; program experience satisfaction; and social support background. Based on a qualitative methodology, semi structured interviews were conducted to 9 participants, 5 men and 4 women, aged between 22 and 52 years old. Results show that all participants are abstinente, the majority for a long period of more tha 5 years. As for the program satisfaction on a relational dimension, participants evaluate positively the relationship between peers and with the staff. Nevertheless, in classifying the treatment as quite challenging, all participants strongly recommend the program. Finally, most participants claim that availability of social support and a strong network support, increase better results for treatment.
