Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the acquisition of knowledge among people undergoing rehabilitation for drug abuse in health education groups. Convergent-care research was developed with individuals admitted in therapeutic communities. A semi-structured and self-administered questionnaire for analyzing the level of pre- and post-intervention knowledge was used. Data were collected between August 2013 and February 2014. Twenty-eight male users of multiple psychoactive substances participated in the study. There was an increase in the definitions of the effects, awareness of rehabilitation strategies, substance classification and action by the participants. Qualitative analysis revealed differences in quality and depth of the pre- and post-intervention answers. Health education raised the understanding on basic knowledge related to abuse of alcohol and other drugs, and its correlation to the behavior, in addition to its contextualization and reflection regarding the rehabilitation.
