The aim of this study was to identify difficulties
existing in the mental health services of Rio Grande do

these and psychiatric readmissions in the state. An
exploratory-descriptive, qualitative study was conducted,

semi-structured interviews, applied with 20 workers of
a state reference psychiatric hospital, between June and
August 2011. The results were analyzed using thematic
content analysis. The categories analyzed in this ar ticle are:
inadequate operation of outpatient ser vices; difficult access
to the substitute services, and the problem of chemical
dependency in the context of psychosocial care. It was
concluded that the problems highlighted are configured
as contemporar y challenges for mental health and express
the need for a (re)view of the mental health network.
