This study targets on overall understanding about practitioners' experience at the community addiction management centers on intervening alcoholic-batterers. This research is a qualitative case study based on data that are collected from fifteen practitioners' interview experiences of both focus group and individual and data from supervising, advising, and workshop attending. As a result, the research shows that 'Overwhelmed to deal with alcoholic-batterers', 'Strengthening ability through pre-performances', 'Making an effort continuously to solve problems' and 'Unwillingness changes by intervening alcoholic-batterers' on upper categories of practitioners' experiences. Under alternative solutions and practical categories, it shows that 'Gaps between the needs and the reality' and 'Concrete needs to achieve competence'. To provide effective strategies, the study suggests practical and political implications that are reflected specific environments of the community addiction management centers.
