Substance Abuse

Integration of Substance Abuse Treatment and Domestic Violence Intervention Programs Challenges Providers – Columbia News Video Forum, Columbia University – traditionally, social service organizations have been unable or unwilling to confront the dual reality of substance abuse and domestic violence. A shelter is often unable to treat patients who engage in high-risk behaviors, and substance abuse programs cannot provide the proper intervention and safe haven that abuse victims need. A School of Social Work forum recently brought together researchers, clinicians, therapists and administrators to explore integrated practice models that combine substance abuse treatment with services for victims of domestic violence, New York, NY.
