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

How the state treats gabapentin
