Talking About Welfare Costs in Pierce County in Washington State????

Question by nanu: talking about welfare costs in Pierce County in Washington state????
Who would you talk to first? What information could you find online? What information is of most concern to you? How much money is going to unmarried women? How much to children? How much to the elderly? What programs relate to healthcare? Are there programs for food? Is foster care part of the welfare system? How much for Veterans? Is mental health covered under welfare? Who takes the biggest share of welfare dollars and what numbers are we talking about? (Jail, Headstart, after school care, tuition help, drug abuse, juvenile crime, etc.)

Flight – TRAILER (2012) HD – Director Robert Zemeckis spent the last decade working on 3D motion-capture films and while these pictures were huge technical achievements, we sorta missed the days of buying a ticket for his live-action work. Well, the wait is over. Check out the first trailer for “Flight,” the Oscar-winning director’s first live-action drama since 2000s “Cast Away.” Denzel Washington stars in the film as an airline pilot who is turned into a celebrated hero after he miraculously lands his malfunctioning plane, saving everyone on the flight. Soon, the hero pilot is faced with serious criminal accusations when an FAA investigation (led by Don Cheadle) finds evidence of drug abuse. The film, which also stars John Goodman, Melissa Leo, and Bruce Greenwood, hits theaters on November 2nd.

Best answer:

Answer by zangmo315
you simply can’t make someone get help for this if they don’t think they have a problem, or if they know they have a problem & don’t want help.
you can be supportive, but that’s about it.
until he/she is ready any help (medical, rehab, psych etc) will simply be a waste of time & money.
my husband had a prescription & alcohol problem & it took him a few yrs to be able to admit that it was time to fix it. (he’s now sober 5+ yrs).
good luck
