Today I want to talk about a very important law that we have in Argentina, which is the law 26657, the law of mental health and addiction. Before talking about the main issue of this video, which is about intermissions, I think it seems to me to be a brief introduction. The idea is that this law is a law with human rights perspective. This means that you do not think of the person as an object of intervention of treatment, but as a subject of rights. And this is thanks to the fact that this law is created in dialogue with other actors who were very important as human rights organisms. It also means that, with the voice of users, of families, this is what the mental health is going to do. What has happened is that when we talk about health, we also talk about mental health, but that is still a long way to travel. What I think is also important to clarify in this first video about the mental law is that the law is not called the mental law and the court, but it is the law of mental health and addiction. This and addiction comes to make it a bit of a punitive, moral and physiological look that surrounds the addictions to include them within the mental health problems. One of the most important issues that rule this law is the theme of the intermissions. And one of the main things that we have to know about this is that it must be used as the last resource. That is, before reaching the measure of an intermissions, it must be evaluated other possible treatment measures. And here we are going to situate two possible intermissions. We have voluntary information with the patient, given the consent for that information, and then we have involuntary information. The critical information will be that there is already a certain imminent risk for the person, for that patient, his user or for the third person. This last type of voluntary information applies many times in situations of addiction or a kind of subjective crisis that can involve a risk for another or for that too. Another very important point of this law within the intermissions is that the intermissions must last for as long as possible. An intermissions is exceptional and transitory. The law with this is very clear. An intermissions cannot be programmed for family reasons, social workers, by lack of dispositives in the community. Talking about this law is talking about dignity. It is talking that even if a person is transmitting a decrease in mental health, he does not lose his rights.
