WIN will be providing peer recovery services at the Mount Hope Campus through its four-part plan focused on prevention, treatment, peer and community support, and empowerment. VRG envisions a future where it will collaborate with West Virginia's Department of Child Protective Services to reunite mothers with children they have lost due to substance use disorder.
Dr. Harry L. Haroutunian M.D., Chief Medical Director of Veltex Corporation commented, "This is a crucial step for Veltex Recovery Group and the clearing of a major hurdle for West Virginian women, the community, the Appalachian Region, and the Nation as a whole. This facility will not only give hope, but also serve as a beacon for healing in the State of West Virginia. When we help women and mothers, we help children, when we help children, we help families, when we help families, we help the community, and when we help the community, we help the world."
Stephen G. Macklem, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "The barrier of entry into this industry is extreme and for good reason. Veltex Medical, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, required numerous licenses and inspections by both federal and state authority. Phase I is now underway at the Mount Hope Campus. Revenue generated from this phase will assist in the expansion of Phase II, along with Grants from the State of West Virginia. From a financial perspective the holding company couldn't be more pleased. We are exactly on target with the goals that have been laid out previously.
Veltex Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, Veltex Properties, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, leases the 35,000 sq.ft. facility and approximately five (5) acres of land to Veltex Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, Veltex Medical, Inc., a Delaware Corporation. This facility and land operates as a Veltex Recovery Group Campus. Future plans in Phase IV, call for architectural drawings, permits and construction of, at least two (2), additional residential facilities on the premises to operate expanded in-patient Behavioral Health Center services. This future expansion will allow the campus to house as many as five-hundred (500) additional residents.
