Helping Sex Abuse Victims
Address Drug and Alcohol Problems
There is a strong connection between childhood sexual abuse and drug or alcohol abuse later in life. In fact, many studies have found that child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse are not only more likely to develop drug addiction and alcoholism, but are also less likely to recover and remain abstinent.
At the Law Office of Robert D. Kizer, many of the sex abuse victims we have represented and helped over the years have also had drug and alcohol abuse issues that they have needed to address. We have helped, and continue to help, people find and obtain appropriate treatment from centers and programs in Texas and elsewhere. Today, we are in the process of creating our own — the Windsor Farm Rehabilitation Center, a program specifically designed to help substance abusers who have been sexually abused.
You couldn't then. Now you can. Take action to help yourself and others by calling or contacting our offices in Austin, Texas, to schedule a free, confidential consultation with attorney Robert D. Kizer.
Substance Abuse and Childhood Sex Abuse
Victims of childhood sexual abuse often seek relief from the nightmare of their abuse by turning to alcohol or drugs.
For many, the medicating effects help them to continue purposefully forgetting or repressing the memories. As time goes on, more and more alcohol or drugs are needed to accomplish this goal. For others, abusing alcohol or drugs is an affirmation of the deeply held feelings of worthlessness, guilt and personal responsibility for what happened.
In every case, the end results are the same — the drugs and alcohol stop working altogether, with jail, institutionalization or death often following.
Our message to you is that your life doesn't always have to be the way it is now and that, at our firm, you can find the legal representation, compassionate support and resources you need to live a happier, healthier life.
