WVU Medicine Transforms Addiction Recovery Services in Charles Town
WVU Medicine is enhancing its addiction treatment services in the Eastern Panhandle, particularly benefiting residents in towns like Charles Town and Ranson. The organization is shifting towards a tailored care model, which has already led to significant reductions in overdose deaths—37% in Berkeley County and 29% in surrounding areas. The upcoming closure of the Crisis Support and Recovery Center will streamline patient care, ensuring that individuals receive appropriate and ongoing support. Local partnerships and innovative programs are expanding access to care, significantly impacting public health and community recovery initiatives. This commitment is further exemplified through individual success stories, emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment plans and supportive services. The Journal covers these developments to highlight the ongoing dedication to public health improvement in the region.
