There is a close relationship between substance abuse (alcohol and other drugs) and intimate partner violence. Studies carried out with male offenders and with addicted patients show a high comorbidity rate between these two phenomena. However, few batterer intervention programmes have been implemented to date in the field of drug addiction. This paper proposes, first, the need to detect cases of intimate partner violence that are camouflaged beneath a drug problem. Thus, it is important to determine the prevalence rate of intimate partner aggressors among users of drug-addiction treatment programmes, as well as identifying the specific characteristics of these patients. Second, once aggressors are identified, it would be possible to develop specific programmes for the simultaneous treatment of the two problems (addiction and intimate partner violence). Some studies have already been carried with joint treatments for addiction and intimate partner violence. The results obtained are encouraging, and show that intervention programs with addictions can be a useful framework for applying also, where necessary, specific treatments for those addicted patients with an associated problem of intimate partner violence. Finally, implications for clinical practice and future research in this field are discussed.
物质滥用（酒精和其他药物）与亲密伴侣暴力之间存在密切关系。针对男性罪犯和成瘾患者开展的研究表明，这两种现象之间的共病率很高。然而，迄今为止，在药物成瘾领域实施的针对施暴者的干预项目很少。本文首先提出，有必要检测隐藏在药物问题之下的亲密伴侣暴力案件。因此，确定药物成瘾治疗项目使用者中亲密伴侣施暴者的患病率，以及识别这些患者的具体特征非常重要。其次，一旦识别出施暴者，就有可能制定针对这两个问题（成瘾和亲密伴侣暴力）同时进行治疗的具体项目。已经有一些关于成瘾与亲密伴侣暴力联合治疗的研究。所获得的结果令人鼓舞，表明成瘾干预项目在必要时也可以成为为那些伴有亲密伴侣暴力相关问题的成瘾患者应用特定治疗方法的有用框架。最后，讨论了该领域临床实践和未来研究的意义。
