This qualitative research was based on ethnographic observation and individual and group interviews carried out between 2019 and 2021 in two specialised drug treatment centres (CSAPA) and two harm reduction facilities (CAARUD). 

This research demonstrated the transdisciplinarity and flexibility of services and professionals and the views of professionals on their practices for receiving and supporting drug users.
