BANGOR, Maine - Maine 2nd District Republican Rep. Bruce Poliquin is planning a town meeting next week focused on drug addiction.
Poliquin says the meeting will provide prevention and intervention strategies, and other information about addiction, support and recovery.
The Penobscot County Sheriff's office will also be on hand to perform a drug take-back, where people can dispose of unwanted medications.
Poliquin was a founding member of the Congressional Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic. Last year, 272 people died in Maine from overdoses, with a record number of methamphetamine labs dismantled.
The meeting is set for next Tuesday in Bangor at Eastern Maine Community College.
