§9-11-1. Legislative findings and purpose.

The Legislature finds that West Virginia continues to be severely impacted by substance use disorder and overdose deaths. While the state has made substantial investments in treatment, recovery, and prevention, the current addiction care system is fragmented and not aligned to measurable long-term recovery outcomes. The purpose of this article is to reorganize the state’s addiction care system into a value-based continuum of care and incentivize coordination, integration, and accountability for recovery success.
