WASHINGTON D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) announced today a Mental Health and Substance Abuse Service Grant worth $500,000 from the Department of Health and Human Services to the Prestera Center for Mental Health Services in Huntington, West Virginia.

"West Virginia is ground-zero for the opioid epidemic, everywhere you turn there is someone who has been touched by this crisis," said Congresswoman Miller. "During the COVID-19 pandemic, overdoses in our communities have increased at a growing rate, and I am working to bring more treatment resources home to help all who are battling addiction. The Prestera Center plays a crucial role in this and I am grateful to the Department of Health and Human Services for providing this funding to make this center's mission possible."
