The statement also says that while investment in equipment for healthcare and the psycho-social network has been cut back, the allocation of resources for therapeutic communities, that are not part of the public health service or social services, has been increasing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are calling on the Brazilian government to adopt a human rights approach in the definition of drug policies. There is an urgent need for a profound democratic discussion on public funding for these communities and on their role in Brazil\u00b4s policy to support people with drug use issues.\u201d, said
