This work discusses the implementation of the National Program for Community Attention to Users of Alcohol and Others Drugs. It has the intent of reviewing the concept of the Clinics to treat drug addicts within the reform of the Brazilian Psychiatry. The model adopted to assist drug users and addicts is discussed, considering the principles of the Brazilian legislation and the important theoretical developments in the field of mental health. Considering the traditional institutionalized model to provide assistance to drug addicts, the Center for Psychosocial Attention for Alcohol and Others Drugs seems to be as a plausible proposal to enhance the processes to address the removal of the subjective territoriality and the deinstitutionalization for the treatment of this clientele. After putting the issue at its historical context, we mapped the assistance provide in this field and we evaluated the issues impairing the creation of a effective mental health care network, which should be characterized by being cross disciplinary and intra institutionalized. At the end a proposal to transform the institutionalized health care into a territorial health care was made.
