“West Virginia has fought a long and difficult battle against substance abuse, and we cannot afford to lose another generation to addiction,” said Governor Morrisey. “Recovery means giving people the opportunity to rebuild their lives. When we help someone get healthier, develop new skills, and find meaningful employment, we're strengthening families and giving more West Virginians a chance to build a better future.”
