My boyfriend told me he has smoked crack for 5 weeks. What intervention resources are available in WA State?

Question

This is really serious. I don't want to be around him. I need to refer him to a professional who can help.

Answer 1

As much as I hate to say it, I have to agree with Marie. It will probably take several years for him to straighten out.

Answer 2

I'm really sorry to hear about your boyfriend.

The US Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration has a treatment facility locator. Just put in your city and/or zip code and it will generate a list of treatment facilities with some information about each facility including a link to its website (when available).

Within the state of Washington, you can contact the Department of Social & Health Services and get information on state funded treatment options: 1-800-562-1240

I hope that this helps.

Answer 3

You should just walk away. This is beyond your abilities. It will just bring you down as well, just for caring for someone. You'll be paying for something you didn't bring upon yourself.
