Answer by Chris L
lol.. you picked the right state for drug addictions… I’m in the mental health field in WV and there are not enough facilities around to help with addicts. The waiting lists are VERY LONG to get into anywhere. I would suggest central WV. Plenty of addicts but not much crime. Plus, that’s where i practice mental health and work with the homeless!
