Abstract
A ayahuasca é uma bebida psicoativa utilizada por diversos grupos indígenas por toda a Amazônia, assim como por xamãs mestiços (chamados "vegetalistas") e por religiões e grupos independentes no Brasil. Desde a década de 1990 esta bebida vem sendo empregada no tratamento da dependência. Existem atualmente alguns centros espalhados pela América do Sul que realizam este tipo de tratamento. Realizei trabalho de campo em quatro deles, um no Peru e três no Brasil. Neste artigo faço uma pequena descrição etnográfica destes centros e teço algumas considerações sobre o papel da experiência durante o efeito do chá no processo de recuperação da dependência e também da possibilidade deste tipo de tratamento não ser uma mera terapia de substituição.
