Rivesville Elementary-Middle School student Kirsten McDonald kept her message simple using the slogan, Don t fear your addiction! Fight it!
In her artwork, Aunnah Fritzman wrote a poem pointing out how addiction can grow. Your addiction will grow and grow
that s not it tho.
You ll start to wilt,
then be filled with guilt
it ll leave you feeling so low.
She also states, Don t let opioids be the seed to ruining your life!
Rivesville Elementary-Middle School student Liliona McKenzie Wright uses metaphor to explain how addiction impacts the body. She was like a beautiful porcelain doll until she picked up the bottle, beauty began to fade as the doll cracked and shattered.
CHARLESTON â A multistate settlement to resolve allegations that a pharmaceutical company falsely and aggressively marketed and promoted Suboxone, leading to improper use of state Medicaid funds, has been reached, according to West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey.
The company, Indivior, will provide West Virginia more than $5.2 million, according to a news release from Morriseyâs office.
The state will keep more than $1.36 million, while the balance will reimburse federal Medicaid programs â a move thatâs consistent with previous Medicaid settlements.
The West Virginia Bureau of Medicaid Services will receive approximately $583,384 of the stateâs share.
âMarketing a product using false claims â particularly claims regarding safety of a drug â can have dangerous outcomes,â Morrisey said in the release. âThis type of fraud also takes Medicaid resources away from those who need them most. We must never cease in our efforts

A Northern Panhandle plumbing contractor is now barred from doing any future home improvement work following a recent court order in a lawsuit filed by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey.
The order permanently blocks Charles P. Waterman and his company, Waterman Plumbing LLC, from engaging in any capacity of plumbing or contracting work. It also requires Waterman to pay $14,133.72 in restitution.
The attorney general’s lawsuit had alleged Waterman violated the state’s consumer protection laws by accepting thousands of dollars for deficient and unfinished work.
“Contractors who don’t follow the law must be stopped,” Morrisey said. “Consumers deserve to get the services they pay for in a timely manner and satisfactory condition.”
