Unidade Terapêutica Feminina: Acolhimento e reinserção de mulheres em situação de dependência química.

Abstract

This study focuses on the situation of women living with chemical dependency and their specific vulnerabilities in the face of social exclusion, prejudice, and the lack of public policies directed toward this issue. These factors hinder access to adequate treatment and social reintegration, particularly when considering the specificities of female-oriented care. The methodological approach was based on a theoretical review of related topics, analysis of current legislation, urban studies, and surveys conducted in the area designated for the project's implementation. Additionally, interviews were held with coordinators of existing male and female therapeutic communities in the city of Campo Grande, MS. As a result, the project proposes the design of a Therapeutic Unit for women, with environments conceived to promote integration and care, thus contributing to recovery and effective social reintegration. Keywords: Chemical dependency; Therapeutic community; Female care; Social reintegration.
