Understanding Substance Use Coercion

Organization:

National Center on Domestic Violence, Trauma, & Mental Health

Substance use coercion is a critical issue for survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) that has widespread implications for state and federal policymakers and for the domestic violence and substance use disorder treatment and recovery fields.

These tactics are known as substance use coercion.
