The social and economic cost of intimate partner violence (IPV) is exorbitant and highlights the need for policy reform as it pertains to IPV interventions at a global level. There are multiple variables associated with the aetiology of IPV and, hence, multiple treatment needs must be considered. Substance use is one of several factors likely to influence the occurrence of IPV, but often goes unaddressed in standard treatment approaches. This review will discuss several treatment models for substance using offenders of IPV, including Psycho-educational Models, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Couples' Treatments, Parenting Programmes, Integration of Care Models, and Pharmacotherapies. Clinical recommendations will be discussed. Treatment outcomes among substance using offenders of IPV may be improved by implementing changes in protocol that increase diagnostic evaluations, integrate care with evidence-based models, require limits to the number of offenders in a group, and require qualifications for clinicians who treat offenders (licensed and trained psychologists, social workers, and/or psychiatrists).
