Abstract

The routes for the inclusion of people with addictive behaviours and dependencies should resort to other attitudes and feelings from citizens and Organisations. However, the deficits encountered in terms of social, cognitive, emotional and spiritual skills hinder this process back because the paths of interventions are lengthy and tiresome. This study aims at addressing these lengthy paths. We are inspired to bring to light the discussion of connectivity with others and the importance of assuming a service attitude in the workplace, thereby transcending the ego and act in line with positive values and attitudes. The methodology resorts to case analysis in a health Institution in the field of additive behaviours and dependencies, in 2018. The results show slowness in the process of treatment. Its effects go beyond the economic aspect and demonstrate to be significant at the social, relational and personal levels. Therefore, this theme brings to the public debate the need to accommodate public policies and to overcome the crystallised organisational models, based on absolute hierarchy and on cognitive skills.
