El estudio pretende analizar la construcción del sujeto que usa drogas (especialmente heroína) con el objeto de ofrecer propuestas de carácter psicosocial para la intervención sociosanitaria en este colectivo. El método utilizado ha sido la etnografía, y el tipo de análisis es el análisis del discurso. Los resultados indican que la identidad de los/as usuarios/as de heroína está conectada a las posiciones que se activan en las interacciones y relaciones usuarios-profesionales en diferentes contextos cotidianos de atención y tratamiento sanitario. Estas posiciones activadas las hemos
denominado: terapéutica, farmaco-sensorial, consumista, legal-represiva y grupal-comunitaria.
A partir de la comprensión de estas posiciones se obtienen claves para la intervención en los contextos penitenciarios como la pertinencia de comprender las tensiones que se establecen entre sujeto y sustancia, de considerar la imagen estigmatizada del usuario de drogas y la de favorecer la existencia de dilemas en los usuarios y profesionales.

Abstract
The study claims to analyze the construction of the subject who use
drugs (specially heroin) with the aim of providing psychosocial proposals for social health intervention. The used method is ethnography. The type of analysis is “Discourse Analysis”. The results indicate that the identity of heroin’s users is connected with positions activated during the interactions users-professionals in different ordinary contexts. The positions are: therapeutic, drug-sensory, consumerist, legal-repressive and group-community. From the understanding of these positions, it is possible to obtain keys for intervene in the prison’s contexts for instance, the interest of understanding of tensions between users and substance, the interest of considering the stigmatised image of drug’s users, and the
potential of promoting dilemmas in users and professionals.
