Mills Administration Statement on January-December 2022 Drug Overdose Report

Statement

"Worsened by the growing presence of deadly fentanyl, the scourge of addiction continues to reach into every corner of our state -- rural and urban -- robbing us of our friends, family and loved ones and harming our communities, our people, and our future," said Governor Janet Mills. "My heart breaks with every life lost to a drug overdose, and my Administration will not rest until we reduce this number to zero. We will continue to work with advocates, the recovery community, and lawmakers to tackle this epidemic, to prevent addiction, to help more people access treatment and recovery, and to save lives."
