Recent years have not been kind to Detroit. Rampant poverty has negatively affected the city. As the economy worsened, so too did the battle many Detroit residents have with substance abuse. In 2009 alone, nearly 95,000 emergency room visits were made for drug abuse and misuse.² Drug abuse is always unfortunate, especially when it involves family violence. Among the most often reported incidents of family violence in Detroit are physical, emotional, and mental abuse of significant others and children.³
