Systematization axis: The experience in the therapeutic community was systematized having as its axis, the reconstruction and critical interpretation of the role of the educator in the treatment of adults with disorders due to the use of psychoactive substances of the Cenicsol residential program. The objective is to develop a critical evaluation of the educator's role in the therapeutic community and in treatment.
Method: The methodology used to systematize experiences of five main moments: the starting point; the initial questions; recovery of the process experienced; the background reflection and finally the arrival points. The instruments applied were the semi-structured interview. The therapeutic director was interviewed; two therapists; three educators and three users from the adult therapeutic community.
Results: The therapeutic community is a drug-free residential environment, it is a highly structured system whose fundamental characteristic is the existence of an artificial pressure system, which obeys the fundamental purpose which is to activate the pathology of the addict in treatment and promote social rehabilitation. The educator is a facilitator of the user's recovery process, coordinates programmed activities of the community and performs therapeutic interventions if necessary. Among the main therapeutic strategies are empathic listening and observation, using cognitive behavioral techniques in individual and group counseling.
