The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources launched a statewide naloxone distribution project designed to curb high rates of opioid overdose deaths in the state. The program is mainly funded through a $1.07 million grant from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Funds from the grant will allow the state to distribute more than 8,000, two-dose naloxone rescue kits to current and future drug treatment programs. The initiative is a collaborative effort between state's Bureau for Behavioral Health and Health Facilities and the Bureau for Public Health.
