Does drug and/or alcohol abuse cause the violence and abuse?

No. Many people use drugs and/or alcohol and are never abusive. However, the violence may intensify when abusers are using drugs or alcohol. Sometimes abusers will use drugs and/or alcohol as an excuse for their behavior. Abusers who are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol have two separate problems, abusive behavior and substance abuse. Drug and alcohol treatment programs are designed to help an individual stay sober, not to eliminate the abusive behavior.
