Addiction treatment marketing rules in West Virginia
What you can claim, how you can pay for referrals, and where West Virginia diverges from the federal floor. Derived from the live ruleset library.
West Virginia has a substance-use-disorder marketing statute that Pre-Trip confirmed from primary sources but has not yet compiled into deterministic rules. A scan here fails closed: it surfaces the citation and routes you to counsel rather than certifying a clean pass on law it has not modeled.
Every West Virginia scan also runs the always-on federal layer: 42 CFR Part 2 confidentiality and FTC endorsement rules in addic, Platform certification requirements for addiction treatment adve, EKRA referral remuneration in marketing copy, FTC deceptive health claims and endorsements, State SUD-marketing survey: verification-pending jurisdictions. A ruleset counts toward a clean pass only while it is published, matches its content hash, and its review clock is fresh, which is why the date above is load-bearing.
What the scanner does with two versions of the same idea. The flagged line is rendered the way Pre-Trip renders a finding; the clean line is a pass.
