‪The economy of charisma in the evangelical world tend to broaden and make more complex the classic distinction between the prophetic charisma and the charisma of function. The article explores heterodox variations of the extraordinary and the forms of authority that it arouses in the framework of a Christian addiction rehabilitation program in Argentina. The study shows that there is not only a maximum charisma displayed in the geographical and symbolic center of the religious scene, but also a minimalist understanding of it that tends to be replicated mimetically in the middle levels of institutional logic. The research carry out a quantitative characterization of evangelical growth in Argentina, a description of religious therapeutics in the treatment of drug use and an analysis of the internal logics of authority. Finally, social situations are reconstructed where it is possible to theorize the emergence of atypical symbolic actions that redefine the organizational structure of the temples.‪
