We speak with Gordon Smith , Maine Director of Opioid Response on our statewide report for the period Jan-May, 2022. The statewide report is a public document posted on www.mainedrugdata.org   

The proportion of fatal overdoses averaged 7% of total overdoses over the course of 2021 , and has stayed at that level during the first five months of 2022 as a whole, although the  monthly proportion of fatalities fluctuated from a low of 6% in January and May to 8% in April.
