  Created under the influence of the Psychiatric Reform movement, the Unified Health System (SUS) proposed a new mental health care model focused on Primary Health Care (PHC). But this change still poses some barriers for user access to health services. Thus, this integrative review analyzes scientific production on the access of SUS users to psychosocial care. Bibliographic search was conducted on the SciELO, Medline/PubMed and Lilacs databases using the following descriptors: “access to health services,” “primary health care,” “mental health services,” resulting in a sample of 13 studies. Data were explored by thematic content analysis, which consist of pre-analysis, exploration of the material, and treatment/interpretation of the results obtained. Results revealed that PHC has been an articulator of access to psychosocial care, and unveiled its difficulties in using light technologies to manage mental disorders and psychological distress. Secondary care and access to psychosocial care services face structural, physical, and social difficulties. The analysis also points to gaps in the literature regarding access to the different modalities of Psychosocial Care Centers and about therapeutic residences. Thus, despite the right to health achieved and reorientation of the mental health care model, now centered on PHC, this level of care remains not resolutive.
