BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) More Maine police departments have begun distributing fentanyl testing strips to people who may have been exposed to the powerful opioid.
The Bath and Brunswick police departments are the latest agencies to join the Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative’s One2One program, which supplies agencies with fentanyl testing kits as a harm reduction tool for people at risk of an overdose, Bangor Daily News reported.
Departments in Augusta, Biddeford, Kennebunk, South Portland and Westbrook are already a part of the program.
Last year’s pilot of the One2One program found that 53% of people who received a test kit requested referrals for treatment or substance use disorder services, according to Allie Hunter, executive director of the Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative.
