CAPITO, PETERS PROVISION TO EXPAND ACCESS TO OPIOID ADDICTION TREATMENT FOR ADOLESCENTS ADVANCES IN SENATE

Press Release

"As we continue to battle addiction across West Virginia, unfortunately no portion of our population has been spared. Working to prevent and treat addiction in children, adolescents, and young adults must remain a top priority. The bipartisan Youth Prevention and Recovery Reauthorization Act, which was included as a provision in the SUPPORT Act, would do this by expanding access to opioid addiction treatment for adolescents in West Virginia and across the country. I'm glad to see this important bill take a critical step in advancing with the committee passage of the SUPPORT Act."
