It is proposed to analyze the criminal alternative used by Goiás Judiciary to replace the prison sentence for cases of individuals in conflict with the law, for unlawful conduct associated with problem drug use or under the influence of these, focusing on the Justice Programme Therapy adopted in Goiânia County. Through literature, with study of foreign and national literature, this last little, in addition to legislation, official documents and using qualitative and quantitative methodology, we proceeded to the analysis of the data, for the period 2010 to 2013. The study recovered the history of prohibition in the world and in Brazil, legislation influenced, and the essential concepts for understanding the action of the drug and its relationship to crime. The history of Therapeutic Jurisprudence were raised, of foreign origin, and national experience with theoretical support in Wexler and Winick (2002), Lima (2009) and Fensteseifer (2009). It appears that the criticism that the Therapeutic Justice homeland receives are unjustified because it differs from the American and Canadian model. The analysis of the experimental data in Goiânia-GO concluded that 43.60 % of the participants completed the program with an average duration of 12 months and 85.1 % of the participants had no involvement in criminal proceedings as defendants in the region, similar to the results International, showing that it is an effective alternative to criminal probation and reduction of recidivism.
