Prescription monitoring
West Virginia's prescription drug monitoring program is the Controlled Substances Monitoring Program, housed in the state Board of Pharmacy. It collects dispensing data on controlled substances, and prescribers are required to check it before prescribing opioids.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
West Virginia gives limited criminal immunity to people who seek emergency help for an apparent overdose in good faith, covering offenses such as possessing a controlled substance without a prescription. The person must stay with the victim and cooperate with responders.
Court-ordered treatment
West Virginia law allows involuntary hospitalization of a person who is addicted and likely to cause serious harm because of the addiction, starting with a hold of up to 72 hours and followed by a court petition if longer care is needed. This is governed by Chapter 27, Article 5 of the state code.
How the state treats gabapentin
West Virginia places gabapentin in Schedule V of its Uniform Controlled Substances Act, under the "other substances" category, making it a state-controlled drug (W. Va. Code § 60A-2-212).

Inpatient / residentialResidential detoxDual diagnosisSedative careWhat to know about Adderall
Adderall is a prescription stimulant that combines amphetamine salts. It is approved for ADHD and narcolepsy and is a Schedule II controlled substance because it can be misused and lead to dependence. Misuse includes taking higher doses than prescribed, taking someone else's pills, or crushing and snorting them.
There is no FDA-approved medication for stimulant use disorder, so treatment relies on behavioral therapies such as contingency management and cognitive behavioral therapy. Read our Adderall addiction guide for signs and treatment options.
What Adderall detox involves
Adderall withdrawal, often called the crash, usually brings exhaustion, long sleep, increased appetite, irritability and low mood. It is rarely physically dangerous, but the depression can be serious. Residential detox offers rest, nutrition, monitoring and support so the first days are safer and more manageable.
Detox is only the first step. Ask each program near West Virginia how it plans ongoing treatment after you leave.
