Abstract:
This essay problematizes the enclosure and docilization policies that guide the
therapeutic communities involved in the alleged treatment of people who use
psychoactive substances considered drugs by the State. It adopts as analyzer the
therapeutic model used by the largest network of therapeutic communities in Brazil,
Fazenda da Esperança. The reflections are woven into a conversation with contributions
from the expanded clinic and institutional analysis. We argue for the importance of
therapies for desirable bodies that potentiate in opposition to the practices of
confinement and docilization that are increasingly being strengthened as models for the
drug policy in Brazil.
