This funding will support programs that\r\nwork to prevent future opioid abuse and prepare future occupational therapists\r\nfor treatment and prevention of substance use disorders. The drug epidemic has\r\nravaged West Virginia for years, tearing apart families and hurting our\r\ncommunities and the COVID-19 pandemic has only made the epidemic worse. This\r\nfunding will help West Virginia University as they work to address substance\r\nuse disorder and train doctors to prevent future opioid misuse. As a member of\r\nthe Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue to fight for funding that\r\nhelps our state address this terrible epidemic and support our fellow West\r\nVirginians during their time of need, said Senator Manchin. West Virginia University continues to be a leader in our state in assisting our efforts to end the opioid epidemic in our communities,said Senator Capito. Time and time again, WVU has shown that its research capabilities can go toe-to-toe with other higher education institutions across the country. It is important that we make resources available now, so that future leaders and medical professionals will be able to step up to the challenges of tomorrow and help those impacted by substance use. I am thankful for all that WVU continues to do for our state and look forward to the impacts that these programs will make.\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article\n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.manchin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/manchin-capito-announce-funding-for-west-virginia-university"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.074579009786248, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
