Impact
of Early Trauma on Residential Treatment Outcomes for Women
A growing body of research is demonstrating that exposure to early
childhood physical and sexual abuse is associated with adult outcomes
including revictimization, substance use disorders, and numerous
mental and physical health problems. A recent study examined the
impact of early childhood abuse in a population of homeless
women with children undergoing residential substance abuse
treatment.<
Providing
Treatment Vital to Decreasing Recidivism
Interviews with prisoners
suggest that treatment is crucial to
preventing released offenders from returning to prison -- perhaps even
more important than transitional housing, finding a job, or other
factors, according to the researcher who conducted the study.
