Misuse of prescription drugs has reached epidemic proportions in the Mountain State.  WV has the largest increase in the US for death due to drug overdose: 550%.  Prescription drug abuse often begins with routine and necessary treatment for pain due to injury or medical condition, but spirals out of control to devastating personal damage and loss--or fatality. 

Will you kindly post the attached information about this confidential, free service available 24/7 to every West Virginian?  Any group, individual, office, organization or agency may call me for materials to post in their office or town.  Also, materials are available at:  www.wvrxabuse.org
