Care provided to users of psychoactive substances is a complex due to its numerous contradictions and history, which is intertwined with the prohibitionist policy against drug use. Under this perspective, care provided to users has often had a moralistic character, which gives priority to measures of incarceration rather than projects that add value to rescue the user s citizenship and wishes. We know that the understanding of drug use as a public health issue is already a step forward. And, in this context, the Day- Care Centre for Users of Alcohol and Other Drugs (CAPS AD in Portuguese) emerges as a reference device, playing a strategic role in the assistance network. So, this institution was chosen to be approached in this research. We ground on the constructionist perspective because we believe that care to drug user is constructed socially and performed by humans, professionals and managers, and non-humans factors, the environment in which they are received. Our goal was to know how care becomes effective in drug users assistance, proposed by the Health Department: CAPS AD. With this purpose, observations of everyday activities on the device during four months and six interviews with professionals who work in it were made. The survey results suggest that, although AD CAPS III Sé can be well located, have an easy access and an engaged team also critical about the problem of drug consumption, it still presents challenges to be faced, such as its physical structure, the vision that professionals have for assistance network to users, which often prevents efficient care in other devices. There is also the question of the limits that the own activity imposes on professionals who work on CAPS, leaving them exhausted in their daily lives. Despite these difficulties, care becomes effective on that device because its professionals propose strategies that go beyond technique, listening to the users and not judging their behavior in a host perspective and harm reduction
