Abstract
Objective: To analyze the professionals' conception of the care actions shared between Adult and Alcohol and Drugs Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS Adult and CAPS AD). Methods: This was a qualitative, interpretive study, carried out with 10 professionals, six from a CAPS Adult and four from a CAPS AD in a region of São Paulo. A semi-structured digital questionnaire was applied, and the thematic content analysis approach was used. Data were collected in December 2018, meeting all ethical recommendations. Results: The data were organized into thematic categories: 1) the mental health problem and the use of alcohol and other drugs; 2) the Single Therapeutic Project (PTS) of cases with dual diagnosis; 3) difficulties and potential in case sharing between CAPS Adult and CAPS AD. Conclusion: It was observed that the use of alcohol and other drugs is negatively associated with mental health problems and that this concept interferes in the organization of the therapeutic project shared between the services. In addition, the professionals' conception is that the actions shared between the two CAPS expand the possibilities of care, but demand networking.
