A Statewide Alliance Working to Address
Substance Abuse and Related Issues in West Virginia



The WV Partnership was created by Executive Order in May 2004 to coordinate a comprehensive statewide substance abuse system. It consists of Governor-appointed representatives with training, experience, and or special knowledge concerning substance abuse prevention, intervention, treatment and/or recovery.

The Partnership's activities include assessment and evaluation, planning and policy recomendations, and grant advising. Specific accomplishments include: the development of The Governor's Comprehensive Strategic Plan to Address Substance Abuse in WV and the Governor's Drug Summit in 2009. Additional detail about the Partnership's activities is available in its annual reports; meeting notes; and in WV SPF SIG evaluation reports.

The WV Partnership is staffed by the WV Prevention Resource Center and supported with funding from a federal Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG).
