TL;DR: Results indicate that drug-dependent women with externalizing psychopathology can be retained in treatment when environmental barriers are removed and an adequate "holding environment" is maintained, however, women with severe psychiatric problems, unstable mood, and interpersonal deficits are less likely to complete treatment.

TL;DR: In multiple regression models, ASI drug and psychiatric composite scores accounted for the majority of the variance for both victimization and perpetration, suggesting that women with high ASI scores should be queried about their involvement in abusive acts at time of admission to drug treatment.

TL;DR: Individuals with major depression, dysthymia, substance abuse, thought disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and borderline and avoidant personality disorders were at increased risk for suicidality whereas those with narcissistic personality disorder were at decreased risk.

TL;DR: Rearing by an alcoholic parent had a greater influence on alcohol abuse by offspring than on alcohol dependence, and the increased risk of proband illicit drug use and drug dependence associated with paternal alcoholism suggested nonspecificity of environmental transmission.
