Abstract
In West Virginia, where pressuring opioid treatment programs (OTPs) has been an ongoing treatment barrier for years, the latest the legislation has offered is a bill that would ban the treatment. Under the bill, sponsored by State Sen. Eric Tarr, West Virginia state code would be changed to outlaw opioid treatment programs that distribute methadone.
