Providing intimate partner violence (IPV)-related services to women enrolled in substance abuse treatment programs has the potential to reach a population disproportionately affected by IPV. Integrating basic IPV services into substance abuse treatment, however, poses challenges to organizations and staff. Using focus groups, the authors examined the experiences and attitudes of substance abuse treatment staff towards clients with IPV victimization experiences in order to elucidate factors that might affect the implementation of IPV services within substance abuse treatment. Seven focus groups were conducted with staff members from substance abuse treatment programs in New York City. Although participants believed that IPV is common and negatively affects client recovery, they felt competing time demands, complex confidentiality issues, insufficient training and lack of agency leadership would impede their provision of IPV-services. The study suggests that system-level assessment and change is needed to provide IPV-related services in substance abuse treatment settings.
为参加药物滥用治疗项目的女性提供与亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）相关的服务，有可能惠及受IPV影响尤为严重的人群。然而，将基本的IPV服务纳入药物滥用治疗，给各组织和工作人员带来了挑战。作者通过焦点小组，研究了药物滥用治疗工作人员对有IPV受害经历的客户的经验和态度，以阐明可能影响在药物滥用治疗中实施IPV服务的因素。对纽约市药物滥用治疗项目的工作人员进行了七次焦点小组访谈。尽管参与者认为IPV很常见，且会对客户的康复产生负面影响，但他们感到时间需求相互冲突、保密问题复杂、培训不足以及缺乏机构领导支持，这些都会妨碍他们提供IPV服务。该研究表明，需要进行系统层面的评估和变革，以便在药物滥用治疗环境中提供与IPV相关的服务。
