The objective is to describe and analyze the implantation process of integrative community therapy (ICT) in Volta Redonda, municipality of Rio de Janeiro. Semi-structured interviews and observation of ICT groups were carried out, during the period of September to November, in addition the occurrence of documentary analysis. In municipal documents, ICT began to be referenced since 2009 until the present moment (2018 to 2021), starting to be foreseen in the Project Center for Integrative Practices of the Municipal Health Department (Secretaria Municipal de Saúde). The implementation analysis revealed the importance of the political context, sometimes as a facilitator agent of implementation, and sometimes as a barrier to maintaining its offer. Despite the change in the political context becoming a factor that decreased the number of groups of ICT, there was recognition of its potential in the construction of social support networks, as well as in the attention to the demands of mental health, such as, for example, the reduction of medicalization.
