Overdose Deaths in Maine Continue to Rise New statistics show that the number of overdose deaths in January rose higher than in any month last year. A partnership between the Maine s Attorney General s Office, State Medical Examiner s Office, and the Office of Behavioral Health has started reporting overdose deaths monthly in 2021, in an effort to increase visibility of the state s drug problem. In January, there were 29 confirmed overdose deaths and 29 suspected. 2020 was a record-breaking year for deaths caused by drug overdoses, with the state averaging 42 OD deaths per month. Those numbers fluctuated, month-to-month, between 34 and 53, so January s total of 58 possible overdose deaths shows an upward trend. Officials say they expect that the number of deaths will go down in February, but it s a discouraging start to the year.
