Abstract

Psychoactive substance use among women is known to have predisposing factors, maintenance factors, and consequences that are different from those applicable to men. Domestic violence and intimate partner violence, in addition to being a serious problem, with a high incidence in the female population, represents one of the main factors associated with chemical dependence in women. A literature review was conducted to assess the current national and international scenarios of the impacts of domestic violence among female drug users. The study revealed an urgent need for programs designed to prevent domestic violence,Psychoactive substance use among women is known to have predisposing factors,  maintenance factors, and consequences that are different from those applicable to men. Domestic violence and intimate partner violence, in addition to being a serious problem, with a high incidence in the female population, represents one of the main factors associated with chemical dependence in women. A literature review was conducted to assess the current national and international scenarios of the impacts of domestic violence among female drug users. The study revealed an urgent need for programs designed to prevent domestic violence,as well as for psychosocial and specialized care for children and women who have suffered this type of violence, with a view to preventing substance abuse as a maladaptive way of managing the suffering caused by violence. In conclusion, history of domestic violence should be investigated in the assessment and treatment of substance-dependent
women; violence interruption and protection of women should be treatment plan priorities.
