More than 500 lives have been saved over the past 2 years across Maine using the overdose reversal drug Narcan.
That’s according to the Maine Attorney General's Office, which has provided the drug to 84 agencies across the state over the past two years.
In a written release Maine Attorney General Mills says the statistic is "another grim milestone in our state's fight against opioids," and that more can and should be done to address Maine's opiate epidemic.
Mills is the Democratic candidate running to replace Republican Gov. Paul LePage, who has consistently opposed the distribution of narcan.
