Addiction is a complex disease – and West Virginia is ground zero of the national epidemic. With the highest drug overdose fatality rates in the country, the impact on our state, our communities and families and our future, is nearly incalculable, but hope remains.
Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioid, including heroin, fentanyl and prescription opioid medications, when given in time. The WVU Collegiate Recovery Program has installed 50 opioid overdose rescue kits, known as “Naloxboxes,” across campus. These kits contain two doses of naloxone and training materials instructing individuals how to administer the drug during an overdose.

“Gambling is very common among college students. About 6% of students develop a gambling problem. Those in recovery from other addictions are at especially high risk. The Problem Gambling Help Network of West Virginia developed this video to highlight that sports betting isn’t all fun and games, and there is help if you cross the line into problematic gambling.” Watch Video
