CHARLESTON -
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's Advisory Council on Substance Abuse
presented its year-end report Jan. 24, providing policy and program
recommendations for the upcoming legislative session.
The overall recommendations include: maintaining existing,
successful substance abuse programs; continuing efforts to develop community
based, after-treatment recovery supports; encouraging ongoing efforts of
substance abuse coalitions; and assisting in the proper disposal of collected
drugs.
An executive order in September 2011 called for the creation
of an advisory council and for regional task forces. A news release from
Tomblin's office cited recent national data that shows a decrease in
prescription drug misuse among West Virginians ages 12
and older for the first year since 2008.
"First, I want to thank each member of the Advisory Council
for being dedicated to fighting the substance abuse epidemic," Tomblin said in
the news release. "Since coming together in 2011, we've taken numerous
productive steps to rid our state and our families from the heartache and
dangers substance abuse brings to our hometowns."
