Hello everyone,
 
  I'm seeking resources in the Pittsburgh area that connect healing from 
sexual violence and recovery from addiction. The situation is this: young 
woman in her early 20s addicted to a variety of drugs, involved with 
Narcotics Anon, in and out of rehab centers, and who has been repeatedly 
sexually victimized, often by individuals she met either through using or 
rehab. Does anyone know of any good resources for her? It sounds like she has 
good insurance, so it could even be a private referral... Anything would be 
appreciated.
 
  Second, the individual who brought this to my attention is seeking 
resources (print, web, etc.) that she could read to help her friend. I know 
that when I've looked in the past, there hasn't been much good stuff out 
there about drug/alcohol addiction and sexual violence, but it's been a few 
years. Does anyone know of any good resources either for someone supporting a 
survivor who is also addicted to drugs/alcohol, or resources for the survivor 
herself? Again, anything would be superb. 
 
Thanks, y'all. Keep up the wonderful work, and keep up your hopeful spirits!
Peace,
Ross
