Drug Rehab

Washington has about a 20 percent higher drug use rate than the national average, and drug-related deaths in the state greatly outnumber those from automobile accidents or firearms. These are just a couple of the many reasons why finding a successful drug rehab center for someone from Washington is essential.

The major drugs of abuse causing people to seek rehabs in Washington are marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, painkillers and other prescription drugs. The state halted its prescription drug monitoring program in 2008 due to budget difficulties, but resumed it a couple years later as the need continued to be more prevalent.

Washington has many drug-free community coalitions that have received funding from the ONDCP. Some of these include the Central Seattle Drug Free Communities Coalition, Longview Anti-Drug Coalition, Mercer Island Communities That Care, Citizens for Safer Yakima Communities and Quincy Communities That Care.

As with many other states, Washington has also had an increase in the presence of drug courts. These specialized courts deal primarily with non-violent drug offenders and use combinations of community sentencing, drug rehabilitation, drug testing, performance monitoring and other methods to help people get off drugs and become contributing members of the community again.
