abuse in Washington, almost every official agrees addiction treatment must be part of the solution. However, there is a divide on where treatment should happen.
"We do have people that have committed crimes to feed a drug habit. And we can prosecute those crimes, get them into jail and get this medically assisted treatment, get them nursing care, and finally get them out of that scenario where they’re unable to find their way through the haze toIn more than 25 years of practicing medicine and addiction treatment, Bryan Blythe said he has never seen a drug more lethal than fentanyl.. And pretty much, I don’t see that at all anymore.
The Snohomish Health District said fentanyl was involved in more than 80% of opioid-related deaths. This year, in Everett alone, 95 people have died from overdose. The final chapter of the Waits Motel may be written on Tuesday night. An agenda item before the city council would condemn the Waits Motel. The move would clear the way for the property to be bought by the city with an ultimate goal to develop the property and turn it into residential housing.
"I’ve seen several patients in the jail in Snohomish County, who I’ve met in jail, followed up at this clinic here in Arlington and have gone to inpatient treatment. So, we have some success stories like that," said Blythe. "It’s such a positive thing to see those patients move through and get their life back."
