West Virginia and opioid use disorder
The state hit hardest. Treatment access remains a real barrier.
West Virginia has had the highest drug overdose death rate in the United States for many years. According to CDC data analyzed by KFF, West Virginia's opioid overdose death rate in 2024 was 38.6 per 100,000 — the highest of any state, though down significantly from prior years. The need for accessible treatment remains acute, and the drug supply continues to involve fentanyl alongside other adulterants.
The challenge in West Virginia is not unique awareness — most families here have been touched by this directly. The challenge is access. In McDowell, Mingo, Logan, Wyoming, and dozens of rural counties, in-person buprenorphine providers are scarce. Distances are long, transportation is limited, and waiting lists exist even where providers do.

West Virginia-specific question
I'm in a rural county with no providers anywhere near me. Can you actually help?
Yes. This is specifically why telehealth matters in West Virginia more than almost anywhere else. You do not need to drive to Charleston or Huntington. You do not need to be on a waiting list. You need a phone — even audio-only visits are possible when video isn't available. In McDowell, Mingo, Logan, Wyoming, Webster, and many other rural counties, in-person providers may be scarce or involve long travel times. If that's your situation, call us.
