8. Rose Brooks Supported Recovery Program

   ROSE BROOKS CENTER PROGRAM -- The Rose Brooks Center offers comprehensive services to survivors of domestic violence so that they may find safety and receive supportive services that will help them begin to rebuild their lives. In many situations, substance abuse and domestic violence are tightly interconnected. While substance abuse does not cause domestic violence, there is a statistical correlation between battering incidents and chemical use. Not only do batterers tend to abuse drugs and alcohol, but domestic violence also increases the probability that survivors themselves will use alcohol and drugs to cope with the violence. As such, the issues of domestic violence and substance abuse should be treated simultaneously.
