So... Don't loose hope!
When alcoholism and sexual abuse need to be treated together, there is a program called SAID -- the Substance Abuse and Intimacy Disorders Program.
Their process includes a thorough biopsychosocial evaluation, and to identify the sexual abuse causes, there is an added element of a deeper than usual examination of the client’s sexual and relationship history. After that, clients go through cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, 12-step work, and social learning. They also participate in various “alternative therapies” that are proven effective in the treatment of addictions.
