Today's Webinar: Co-Occurring Interrelational Domestic Violence and Substance Use Disorders
  |
Wed, August 23, 2017 @ 3:00 - 5:00 pm ET
(2 CT/1 MT/12 PT)
Extreme correlation of these two disorders does not suggest a cause and effect relationship. Instead, each disorder reinforces the other and leads to progression of each. Treatment must recognize how the two disorders interact in order to develop effective intervention and treatment strategies.
