Danny speaks with Gordon Smith, Director of Opioid Response for the State Of Maine

From the grassroots to the Governor’s office, Maine is coming together for those affected by the opioid epidemic. They are on a mission to save lives and strengthen communities, and putting all the options on the table.

The Overdose Prevention Through Intensive Outreach Naloxone and Safety (OPTIONS) initiative is a coordinated effort of the Maine Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) and other state agencies to improve the health of Mainers using substances through harm reduction strategies, helping them on the road to recovery, and dramatically reducing the number of fatal and non-fatal drug overdoses.
