The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, Office of Drug Control Policy is pleased to announce the launch of an interactive map of treatment and recovery resources within West Virginia. This innovative tool allows for an easy search of resources by county, program type, gender and by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) level of care. Each listing features the program type, center name, county of location and phone number.
Finding available resources can often be a hard process to navigate and cause frustration. The interactive map helps alleviate frustration by allowing for simple searches to be completed, and not requiring that the user know the name of the program they are looking for or even the program type. It allows for a broad search by county or state, or a more defined search if the user knows the program type or ASAM level they are interested in.
Additionally, the dashboard provides a brief explanation of the types of programs that are located in the map and an explanation of the ASAM levels of care. If a user is interested in being referred to treatment instead of reaching out to the facility themselves, there is a phone number provided for Help4WV, the 24/7 substance abuse and behavioral health helpline for West Virginia. There is also a link to the HELP4WV website (www.help4wv.com, 1-844-435-7498), where the user can instantly chat or text with a call agent for immediate help.
The Office of Drug Control Policy is excited to provide this easy to use tool for the residents of West Virginia to have a simple way to search for resources around the state.
