Abstract

ABSTRACTThis pilot study examined the feasibility and satisfaction of the Recovering Safety group, an outpatient empowerment, psychoeducational skills group for women with substance use disorders who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). Patient satisfaction, empowerment, and safety were assessed at three time points. Participants (N = 8) reported high satisfaction with the group and rated the IPV-informed content, women-only participants, and female therapist as important factors; empowerment increased from pre- to post-group. These results support initial feasibility; further study of such treatments is needed to examine efficacy of this group intervention.KEYWORDS: intimate partner violencegender-based violencesubstance use disorderwomendomestic violencegroup therapysubstance use AcknowledgmentsWe thank Dr Carole Warshaw and Dr Denise Hien for their expert review on revisions of the Recovering Safety manual.Portions of this manuscript were presented in poster format at the 2022 American Academy of Addictions Conference and subsequently mentioned in the 2022 American Journal on Addictions as “A Stage Ia Behavioral Treatment Development Trial of ‘Recovering Safety: A Women’s Empowerment Group for Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence with Substance Use Disorders’.”Disclosure statementAll authors approved the manuscript and this submission.

The journal features articles specifically related to the treatment of alcoholism, highlighting new and innovative approaches to care, describing clinical problems and solutions, and detailing practical, unique approaches to intervention and therapy.
