Partnership for the Future of Therapeutic Communities – On Monday afternoon (16/10), an important milestone was established for Therapeutic Communities in Rio Grande do Sul. The Secretary of State for Health, Arita Bergmann, and the Secretary of Justice, Citizenship and Human Rights, Mateus Wesp, signed a Cooperation Agreement during the meeting of the State Council for Public Policies on Drugs (CONED).
This agreement establishes that the State Department of Health (SES) will be responsible for regulating available vacancies in therapeutic communities, as well as providing technical support from health professionals for joint actions, opinions and monitoring. On the other hand, the Secretariat of Justice, Citizenship and Human Rights (SJCDH) will be responsible for management, resources and monitoring.
Secretary Mateus announced that a notice will soon be published on the resources that could make public policy effective for therapeutic communities.
Secretary Arita Bergmann expressed her enthusiasm with the partnership: “We value integration and transversal actions in formulating responses relevant to the future of institutions and especially therapeutic communities, with the horizon of maintaining access for people who need this special care”.
Therapeutic Communities are private, non-profit institutions that offer care for people with disorders resulting from drug use, abuse or dependence. The reception period can last up to 12 months. During this period, residents must maintain their treatment in the psychosocial care network and other necessary health services.
