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).

Prescription stimulants include amphetamines such as Adderall, Vyvanse and Dexedrine, and methylphenidate products such as Ritalin and Concerta. They are Schedule II controlled substances. Taken as prescribed they help many people with ADHD; misused, they can lead to dependence, sleep problems, anxiety and heart strain.
Treatment for stimulant addiction centers on behavioral approaches, with contingency management having some of the strongest evidence. Learn how stimulant addiction is treated.
Therapies that work for stimulant addiction
Contingency management gives small rewards for drug-free urine tests and has strong evidence for stimulant use disorder. The Matrix Model combines individual and group therapy, family education and relapse prevention in a structured outpatient schedule. Community reinforcement helps rebuild work, relationships and activities that compete with drug use.
