| Sumario: | This is a reflective article that aimed to make considerations on the effects of drug use in human movements based on experiences witnessed in a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPs). Acute and chronic effects of these substances were discussed, highlighting the lack of coordination and balance and fine tremors of the extremities as acute effects of alcohol. Alcoholic polyneuritis was identified as chronic effect. Among the acute effects of cocaine and crack were psychomotor agitation, and among the chronic effects, dystonia and chorea. In the case of marijuana, this causes lack of coordination and reduced ability to perform complex motor activities. However, other viewpoints are possible when considering the body that moves through intention, desire, direction, that is, through intentionality. Thus, it is believed that this study supports the qualification of bodily therapeutic practices of care for drug users beyond the purely physiological dimension, which contributes to the expansion of this knowledge in various health professions: Nursing, Physiotherapy, Physical Education, among others. |
