Abstract:

The hospitalization process in therapeutic communities (TC) involves a multiplicity of therapeutic practices and strategies oriented to the abstinence of the use of drugs. According to the specialists’ own regulations and explicit objectives, the residents must not only abandon the consumption of substances but also adopt new practices, attitudes, emotions and meanings through the use of therapeutic techniques that allow them to fit into the structure of the organization that these institutions impose. Taking into account the results of the ethnographic survey carried out between 2009 and 2010 in three TC of the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the purpose of this article is to analize from a sociological and anthropological viewpoint the therapeutic tools that compose the treatment, the models of subjects that underlie these tools, the consequences that these tools may produce and their participation in the subjectivity production processes. To this end, we will focus on the “confronting” analysis as a privileged and omnipresent strategy of subjectivation in these therapeutic contexts, with the aim to showing the epistemological, economic, political and ethical dimensions in the de-subjectivation process of the institutionalized drug user.
