WHY I STARTED THIS COALITION
My name is Breanna, and I woke up crying this morning. Not because I'm weak, but because I'm living a nightmare that thousands of families face every day.
My husband has been struggling with addiction. For over a year, I've watched him disappear into drugs while I had ZERO legal options to help him. The system forced me to choose between:
❌ Let him stay and destroy our family ❌ Kick him out and watch him die on the streets
❌ Wait helplessly until he commits a crime and goes to prison
THERE HAS TO BE A FOURTH OPTION.
That's why I'm creating the Civil Arrest for Addiction Coalition. We're going to advocate for legislation that gives families the legal power to petition courts for secure treatment intervention BEFORE tragedy strikes.
The Civil Arrest for Addiction Act would: ✅ Let families present evidence to civil courts ✅ Provide secure, long-term treatment in county jail facilities
✅ Focus on healing, not punishment ✅ Give families their power back
I'M LOOKING FOR:
Families living this nightmare
Anyone who believes in treatment over incarceration
Legal professionals, treatment providers, advocates
People ready to FIGHT for change
This isn't just about my husband. It's about YOUR loved one. YOUR family. YOUR community.
No more watching helplessly while addiction destroys the people we love. No more waiting for tragedy. No more impossible choices.
It's time to create a system that actually HELPS families instead of destroying them.
