Abstract
This article analyzes the factors that facilitate or hinder the production of autonomy among users who experience addiction in a CAPSad. This is the result of qualitative research with all professionals a CAPSad. It was performed 80 hours of observation, press conference with ten employees and 13 in-depth interviews, followed by thematic analysis. Found missing conditions for the production of autonomy of users in the service studied. Based on Edgar Morin and Gastao Campos it was possible to observe that essential factors for the production of autonomy of workers and users in coping with drugs - such as adequate working conditions, decent wages, engaged professionals and a psychosocial support network - were not observed. These situations lead to the feeling of “encapsulation”, as verbalized, which contributes to having an affective distancing attitude of caring dimension of health work. So if there is no autonomy in the work process it is extremely difficult that they can produce the feeling of autonomy on the part of users who, before this, persist in double dependence - service and chemical.
