Treatment needs of men and women with violence problems in substance use disorder treatment.
This study examined treatment needs of men and women in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. The sample (n = 489) was recruited between 2006 and 2007 from a Midwestern state in the United States, and participants were grouped based on injury occurring in partner and nonpartner relationships in the past year. Rates of injury across relationship types were alarming with over 54.8% reporting injuring another person and 55.4% reporting being injured. Overall, those injuring nonpartners or both partners/nonpartners had more severe problems. Implications of the findings for SUD treatment settings and a model for integrated violence prevention are discussed.
