Substance use disorder treatment provider in Pierce County suspended for sexual misconduct among other charges

For immediate release: November 24, 2025 (25-142)

OLYMPIA – State health officials suspended the license of Pierce County substance use disorder professional (SUDP) Jeremiah Shane Dunlap (CP60556714) pending further legal action.

Charges allege that while Dunlap served as CEO of Rainier Recovery, a behavioral health agency, he made sexually inappropriate remarks to multiple employees, permitted SUDP trainees to work unsupervised, changed patient records to alter clinical assessments and urinalysis results, retaliated against employees who refused to alter patient records at his direction, and provided substandard care that contributed to a patient’s death.

The suspension prohibits Dunlap from practicing as an SUDP in Washington to protect patient safety and public health. Dunlap has 20 days to request a hearing to contest the charges.
