LGBTQ Dual Diagnosis Treatment in West Virginia

Treatment rules and programs in West Virginia

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.

Care that includes transgender and nonbinary people

Transgender and nonbinary people often report being misgendered or treated poorly in health care settings, which can make treatment feel unsafe. Before you enroll, ask how the program handles names and pronouns, room assignments, bathrooms and continuing gender-affirming hormones.

How dual diagnosis treatment works

Dual diagnosis treatment treats substance use and mental health conditions at the same time, with one team. It usually combines therapy, psychiatric medication management and addiction treatment.
