CHARLESTON — A new pilot program has begun in the West Virginia jail system aimed at breaking the cycle of addiction, saving lives and reducing crime and incarceration costs, according to a press release from the Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety. For the first time, West Virginia has begun offering inpatient substance abuse treatment to jail-housed inmates via court referral beginning at the Western Regional Jail, which is located in Barboursville. Circuit judges in the counties served by the jail have started sending eligible offenders to the program. The pilot provides individual and group therapy daily as well as medication-assisted treatment in qualifying cases. It has a capacity of 32 beds each for men and women, in separate sections and away from other jail inmates. Read More. |
