West Virginia HB5184 prohibits expanding drug and alcohol treatment facilities in counties with more than 250 licensed substance abuse treatment beds.

West Virginia HB5184 amends the state's certificate of need requirements to prohibit expanding drug and alcohol treatment facilities in counties that already have more than 250 licensed substance abuse treatment beds. This bill specifically targets the addition of licensed substance abuse treatment beds in counties exceeding this threshold, while allowing for certain exceptions, such as facilities designed to replace existing unsafe beds or those approved under a specific court order. The intent is to control the growth of treatment facilities in areas already saturated with such services.
