Answers.Text: Right. This issue is just when the contact is not individual.
  
  So, lets say that my workaround would be to automatically remove the extra contact (the individual one, because I need only the organizational contact type besides the fact that organizations are bad with typing...), is there a way to locate it via its drupal user id?

Answers.Text: i don't quite follow your question so me be giving wrong answers
  1/ on a civi contact page there is the ID link back to the connected Drupal User
  
  2/ in the db all the info is in the uf_match table and I think that might be how you can 'override' civi and connect a Drupal User to an Org but comes with usual warnings (backup, pray, drink) ;-)
