Resumo:
At a pentecostal Recovery Center (RC) for drug users, guests and leaders promote and agencies a dialogue among drugs, crime, and faith. The methodology is ethnographic and it is restricted to what the RC reveals, to a plot of discoveries anchored in rituals and linked through the common thread of self-management. It is a male Recovery Center, from Pentecostal lineage, which receives and accommodates about 400 men, all former drug users and deriving from drug trafficking. All of them have different trajectories and demarcate the search for convergent destinies, because they have a shared place on their search, passive or active, of treatment. Ex users and ex drug traffickers find themselves in the same place, engaged in the same belief, and manage their conduct and of others through the rites, dogmas, and doctrines to which they must convert. Thus, they present a transformed life against the status of recovered from the prefix of ex: ex drug user, ex thug, ex-criminal. Such transformation takes place through the so-called conversion, which must be proved through the acceptance and the experience of a specific code of moralities and languages. Within this scenario, the thesis presents the aims of reflecting on the condition and function of such RCs in relation to Brazilian institutions, their dialogue on the social scene, how they try to make their work relevant to civil society and how they reinvent themselves in the face of other models of treatment already established. Having as central problem the answer of questions: from what they recover and what subjects are produced in that space, the research analyzes the place of the Recovery Center in the new order of these lives; how conversion is internalized and expressed in its practice, especially in ritualistic moments, greater demonstrations of faith and transformation.
