Model Protocol for Working with Battered Women Impacted by Substance Abuse

Abstract

Agency policies supporting a substance-free environment need to be balanced with a multi-step approach that provides opportunities for survivors impacted by substance abuse. The primary goal of this model protocol is to help advocates in shelters and other community programs better meet the safety needs of all survivors impacted by their own or another’s substance use, misuse or addiction.
