Abstract:

This article aims to analyze the temporal evolution of the rules that compose the legal outline of mental health policies and alcohol and other drugs between the years 1900 to 2000. The study seeks to analyze the trajectory of the rules, so that one can understand a little more about the context and the way in which the issues related to these two themes were addressed, until Psychiatric Reform in Brazil, in 2001. For this, a documentary and bibliographical research was carried out, with the intention of advancing the understanding of these two policiesa more normative angle. In a tangle of legislations, 33 standards were cataloged which, after analysis, demonstrate the process of construction of the public policies related to the use of alcohol and other drugs, changing the repressive logic of justice and the “pathologization” of the drug use and making possible the transition of the discussionthe field of security to that of public health, more specifically mental health.
