Substance Abuse and Domestic Violence: A Volatile Mix
When it comes to intertwined domestic abuse and drug abuse, it is often difficult to say which came first and whether one is a consequence of the other. For instance, many people who become addicted to drugs are seeking escape from domestic abuse. On the other hand, many people who are addicted to drugs act out during intoxication, causing domestic abuse. Thus, the problems of domestic violence and substance abuse are often intertwined. Here are some disturbing facts about the combination of domestic abuse and drug addiction
Domestic Violence Resources
Domestic violence can take many forms, with the most common types being physical violence, rape, stalking and emotional or psychological abuse. In the United States, domestic violence is commonly associated with cases of sexual assault, stalking, homicide, mental illness and suicide.
