Article written by:
The Orlando Recovery Center
Editor Sonia Tagliareni
Last Updated: April 11, 2023
An interesting article that helps to define the different kinds of abuse and the context in which it occurs. This is an excellent article to better begin to understand many of the issues and challenges of abuse.
Domestic violence is the intentional use of emotional, psychological, sexual or physical force by one family member or intimate partner to control another. Victims of domestic violence who struggle with addiction face significant barriers to receiving treatment, but programs that effectively address addiction and abuse-related trauma are available.
