O ESTADO LAICO E OS GRUPOS SOCIAIS FRENTE AO ACOLHIMENTO RELIGIOSO NO ATENDIMENTO AOS DEPENDENTES QUÍMICOS: UMA VISÃO CRÍTICA

Abstract

The present work has the objective of listing elements that contribute to the understanding in the action of the religious therapeutic groups of self help in the reception of chemical dependents. The problem of this research emphasizes the relationship of the Lay State and religious groups in the treatment of drug addicts, structured from the theoretical bases in the context of drugs and chemical dependencies to their applicability in free groups and religious institutions. It was analyzed the typologies on drugs and the practice of the reception in the free and religious groups of self-help. It was exposed the importance of social and religious elements that argue that science is the epistemological basis for understanding about drugs. At the heart of the problematization is the secularity of the State in reception methods, which represents an alternation of power and respect for human rights, since it considers accepting the importance of the support of therapeutic groups with the use of religious methods in changing the Chemical dependency.
