    Author: Curtis CE, Jason LA, Olson BD, Ferrari JR.
    Journal: Women Health; 2005; 41(4):87-100. PubMed ID: 16260415.
    Abstract:
    Women with substance-related disorders are likely to suffer from disordered eating and past traumatic experience, issues that might inhibit the recovery process. The present study determined the prevalence of co-morbidity of disordered eating, trauma, and substance-related disorders among 60 women living in one of 15 mutual help substance abuse recovery homes that establish new social networks for residents. Psychological sense of community was also examined to determine whether residents were able to obtain support that may have previously been absent. Results indicated that women with co-existing disordered eating and substance-related disorders, as well as women who have experienced trauma benefit from democratic, independent-living environments. Implications for treatment and future research are discussed.
