Since 2016, when the state health commissioner first declared the Virginia opioid crisis a public health emergency, state agencies and community-based organizations have responded, offering lifesaving resources to all Virginians. You can learn more about the opioid crisis here.
This declaration led to the creation of Curb The Crisis, a collaboration among these five Virginia agencies: Department of Health, Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, Department of Criminal Justice Services, Department of Health Professions, and Department of Social Services.
