Propositions: Survivors and Substance Use

The following excerpts from social science literature may help attorneys and other practitioners better understand the intersection of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and substance use/substance use disorder (SUD). These selected passages can be a starting point for further research. These excerpts may also help practitioners recognize the context in which survivors of IPV use substances. This context is crucial, particularly when working with survivors who are charged with crimes related to substance use.
