Health or criminal paradigm? Therapeutic communities or care institutions for people with disorders resulting from psychoactive substances? The starting point of this reflection is the assertion that the mass media of information have put in a singular way of offering space over the world in general and health in particular. One effect of this process is the influence that such news constructions have on the population. With this perspective mapped to news, reports and opinion articles, around the crack and PL 7663 – whose emphasis is on Compulsory Treatment – present in newspaper O Globo, in 2013. As we take journalistic constructs as research object, it became possible to verify how, under the sign of a “crack epidemic”, the journal produced utterances defending legislative changes. Amidst this debate and to a set of contradictions inscribed on it, the secondarization of the psychosocial model of care emerges as a result of a weakening of state surveillance tools, especially since various actions of the health field would be left out of the audit of the Ministry of Health by deleting the stability and transparency that an regulation in line with the Unified Health System provides. The conclusion of this study is that the press “suggests” that, despite hurting some principles legal, Compulsory Treatment was the best way to contain the increase in crack use.Downloads
