Augusta to seek federal grant to help fight substance use disorder, overdoses Share AUGUSTA City officials are seeking a federal grant to try a new approach, modeled after a program used by the Waterville Police Department, to help Augusta residents with substance use disorder enter treatment and to reduce the growing number of drug overdose deaths. The proposed program would be based out of the Augusta Fire Department, and have a beginning budget of about $250,000 for an 18-month pilot project. City councilors voted last week to authorize the city to apply for the grant through the office of U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-1st District. The deadline to apply is Monday.
