This paper focuses on the description of a cluster of practices conducted by subjects intensive drug users to themselves -caused by-transit public outpatient treatment to reduce and/or exclude intake in disadvantaged contexts. To this end, I summarized and problematize analytical notions of self-atention, self-control and self-care; and listed practices of care and self-control of problem drug users living in segregated neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The research was conducted under the guidelines of qualitative methodology, specifically the ethnographic approach in an interdisciplinary outpatient and public health institution.
