PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — Gov. Patrick Morrisey on Monday announced funding to prevent the spread of opioids in West Virginia, along with collaborations with the West Virginia First Foundation.
Morrisey stood on the front steps of the Mid-Ohio Valley Fellowship Home in Parkersburg to deliver the announcement.
“As we know, West Virginia has a very long history of battling the perils of addiction,” said Morrisey. “During my tenure as attorney general, I tried to attack it every way we could with every tool in the toolbox.”
The Fellowship Home is a residential recovery home for both men and women. Founded in 1971, the home focuses on assisting residents with getting back on their feet in a safe, stable environment.
