Prescription drug abuse is a big problem in the State of Maine. Between 1990 and 2010, the number of prescription drug related overdose deaths increased from 2.2 deaths per 100,000 people to 10.4 deaths per 100,000 people.

Organizations like the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation fully support all states adapting all ten of these policies. Maine lawmakers may want to begin adopting these suggestions one at a time to see how they affect the abuse rates as well as what issues they cause.
