Issue Position: Invest in Drug Treatment

Issue Position

West Virginia needs real investment in drug treatment facilities and counseling centers. Currently, West Virginia has only 13 90+ day residential treatment clinics. Our state is the national leader in prescriptin drug overdose-related death. If we don't increase the number of treatment options, this number is going to continue to climb and make economic recovery impossible.

I will look at any funding opportunity or revenue stream to begin to increase the number of residential clinics and outpatient opportunities in our state immediately. We cannot afford to waste another minute.
