abstract="Reported &quot;success rates&quot; for abuser treatment programs vary greatly, from as low as 5% to as high as 67%. Regardless of statistics, intervention cannot be overlooked if domestic violence is to be addressed. The primary concern must always be safety for the victim, but the cycle of violence will not stop without treatment interventions for the abuser. Effective screening and referral of potential abusers are crucial to breaking the cycle. Working under the provisions of NC General Statute 50B-3(a), the North Carolina Council for Women works with abuser treatment programs in order to establish eligibility requirements for abusers. These programs, listed in Health Watch (pages 345-8), provide individual and group counseling for a set fee, which the abuser pays. For more information call Joyce W. Allen, NC Council For Women, 919/733-2455.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
