Substance
Abuse Treatment and Domestic Violence
Researchers have found that one-fourth to one-half of men who commit acts of domestic violence also have substance abuse problems. And that a sizable percentage of convicted batterers were raised by parents who abused drugs or alcohol. Studies also show that women who abuse alcohol and other drugs are more likely to be victims of domestic violence. This 8 CEU course includes chapters on the following topics:
topics
covered
- Effects of Domestic Violence on Substance Abuse Treatment
- Establishes the connections between substance abuse and domestic violence. Useful techniques to stop the cycle of violence are included.
- Survivors of Domestic Violence
- This chapter will help substance abuse treatment providers understand the impact of domestic violence on the treatment and recovery process.
- Batterers
- Reviews the reasons why substance abuse counselors should address the domestic violence of clients who batter their partner.
Screening and Referral of Survivors and Batterers in Substance Abuse Treatment Programs
- Details signs to look for and techniques for eliciting information about domestic violence, which many affected clients are understandably reluctant to discuss.
- Legal Issues and Systemwide Linkages
- Discusses protocols for dealing with the many legal issues that may arise during the treatment of victims or perpetrators of domestic abuse. This chapter also includes ideas for forging systemwide linkages.
Appendices include several abuse screening tools (one in both English and Spanish), a sample personalized safety plan for domestic violence survivors and an up-to-date resource list which includes hotline numbers and information sources.
