The goal of the present study was to understand the experience of the coexistence between the substitutive services and the psychiatric hospital. This is a study with a qualitative hermeneutic approach. The research was carried out in the Northeast of Brazil. It contemplated two scenarios: Center of Psychosocial Attention, and Psychiatric Hospital. It included 14 participants, 8 of whom were workers of the Center of Psychosocial Attention and 6 who were health workers at the Psychiatric Hospital. To obtain the information, an in-depth interview and a systematic observation were performed. The collection took place from August to October 2017. The analysis of the interviews was performed using the hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur, through the following steps: speech to text transcription, exhaustive reading, structural analysis, wide-ranging comprehension of the text, interpretation and analysis. The results showed that there is a paradoxical coexistence between the psychosocial care services and the psychiatric hospital, even though the hospital service is not recognized and legitimized as part of the mental health network.
