Análisis de las trayectorias de consumo de sustancias psicoactivas de adultos jóvenes en el centro de rehabilitación alcance Victoria de Soacha

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the trajectories of psychoactive substance use among young adults at the Alcance Victoria rehabilitation center in Soacha, examining the processes of stigmatization they face, the social relationships they build in response, and the tensions between treatment models. Using a qualitative approach, the study includes a survey of twelve people from this center, two biographical accounts, a semi-structured interview, and the use of secondary sources such as the Ministry of Health and Social Protection and the Mayor's Office of Bogotá. The results of this case study show different motivations that lead to the consumption of psychoactive substances, as well as the way in which consumption practices are carried out. Similarly, it accounts for the stigmatization faced by consumers and the repercussions that this can have on the people in their immediate environment. Finally, a comparison is made between religious and state treatment models, showing different perspectives of people in a state of consumption.
