This article explores the subjective experience of the body of young people in treatment of drug use and abuse in a residential-type foundation whose foundation is Theo therapy. A critical reading of the discourses, the forms of corporal discipline and the constitution of the subjectivities of young people within the framework of this form of treatment is made in order to demonstrate that beyond spirituality a particular way of understanding and intervening is generated over the bodies. It is a qualitative and descriptive research, for which focus groups and body mapping were performed as information gathering techniques, in which participated young inmates between 17 and 24 years of age. As a result, there are practices of resistance that involve actions and evoke experiences that trace areas where the therapeutic Theo discourse cannot operate. Although the firmness and power of this type of discourse is observed, it is interesting how the embodied subjects separate themselves and they resist to constitute new forms of subjectivation.

Keywords : corporeality; drugs; speeches; discipline; Teo therapy.
