This program supports two successful strategies that target addiction through prevention, intervention, and diversion. Through the Office of Drug Control Policy (ODCP) at the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR), the state has taken steps to implement three primary models of pre-arrest diversion. This grant will allow these three initiatives, which are already seeing results, to collaborate closely, and enhance their successes: Quick Response Team (QRT's); Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD); and West Virginia Angel Initiative.
This integrated approach will be known as the West Virginia QLA Early Intervention Program.
Typical Award Cycle: July 1 - June 30
