This article presents findings from a quasi‐experimental, nonrandomized group design study that explored whether trauma‐enhanced substance abuse treatment results in longer residential treatment stays and improved outcomes compared with treatment‐as‐usual. We used a subsample (N = 461) of participants in the Women, Co‐Occurring Disorders and Violence Study, which was sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The …

These data are important because they represent the first federal initiative that addresses t…
