West Virginia Office Of Drug Control Policy
In 2017, West Virginia Legislators passed House Bill 2620, the West Virginia Drug Control Policy Act, creating the Office of Drug Control Policy within the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources. The purpose of this policy is to improve drug overdose surveillance and help strengthen the response. The policy enacted the creation of a central repository that stores drug overdose information, making drug overdoses a notifiable condition and placing limits on opioid prescribing. This proposal builds upon West Virginia’s efforts to access complete and timely data while providing support to state and community professionals to inform the scope of the epidemic and assist in targeting prevention and response efforts.
