The abuse of prescription drugs in Southwest Virginia is a public health and safety epidemic. In response
to this epidemic, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia, under the
leadership of Timothy J. Heaphy, has designed a prescription drug abuse summit with partners in law
enforcement, treatment and prevention and economic development. The summit will address the ever-
expanding problem of prescription drug abuse and produce an action plan to combat it, written with the
help of research partners at the University of Virginia at Wise and Radford University.
