Methadone treatment could curb West Virginia overdose crisis
West Virginia continues to lead the nation in overdose deaths driven by fentanyl. Despite evidence methadone aids recovery, state law bans expanding clinics beyond nine, a holdover from 2007. Supporters urge looser access and take-home dosing while critics warn of substituting one addiction for another. Local voices including Dr. Loyd and El Drihmi share lived experiences with methadone and treatment needs.
