ABSTRACT
The provision of academic-professional internships is a resource to reduce training-related gaps in the field of alcohol and other drugs. Reflections on the singular therapeutic project (STP) are presented as a healthcare technology in psychosocial care for people with problems due to drug use, as well as its effects on the training of Psychology students. The approach of the family as a unit of care, the establishment of bonds and respect for autonomy were highlighted in the course of the internship experience. It is noted that the act of caring is central to the consolidation of a counter-hegemonic healthcare model. It is also pointed out the need to deepen the theoretical construction about the attention model of drug users from a public health perspective.
