Abstract: |
This paper examines the lifetime interpersonal abuse experienced by a substance abuse treatment sample of 1,955 women in the United States with co-occurring disorders. Substantial rates of intimate and community based interpersonal abuse and other life stressors are documented. Regression analysis shows that while trauma severity is significantly related to trauma distress, its impact on psychological symptom distress and drug severity is quite modest. The implementation of a trauma informed approach featuring trauma-specific treatment, service integration and consumer empowerment is described as a promising practice model for assisting women seeking help in substance abuse treatment programs.
