This article aims to assess whether or not the results of integrated embracement in Psychosocial Care Centers for Alcohol and Drugs III (CAPS AD III) meet the quality standards necessary for the protection of and respect for users' human rights. An evaluative, quantitative, and longitudinal design was developed through a study with 122 users, embraced in two CAPS AD III follow-ups after 14 and 90 days. This study analyzed the quality of life indicators, consequences of substance abuse, and psychosocial rehabilitation in the light of the QualityRights framework. Three themes and nine patterns were evaluated. In this study, four patterns were classified as total reach, four as partial reach, and one as initiated reach. The right to enjoy the highest possible standard of physical and mental health was the standard most achieved by integrated embracement (theme 2). The right to exercise legal capacity and the right to personal freedom and security were achieved, but with some weaknesses (theme 3). The right to live independently and be included in the community requires other social resources, in addition to specialized mental health care in order to be improved (theme 5).
