Washington's Endangered Children's Assessment and Response Partners
We Care
Washington’s Endangered Children’s Assessment and Response Partners work
together to protect meth endangered children.
It takes all of the partners working in concert at every step of the process to shut down meth labs and restore families. Former
meth users who get help can go on to live productive, healthy lives.
Washington’s highly successful Family Services Treatment program, which uses the drug court model, reports a 60 percent reunification rate between families and former meth users who have graduated from the 15-month program.
