Maine Medication Assisted Recovery | Syringe Exchange
MEDICATION ASSISTED RECOVERY – WITH DIGNITY
COMPASSION … COMMITMENT … CONNECTION … COMMUNITY
Meeting people where they are in their addiction and showing them the way Home.
We believe it is all about connection and community. Addiction is a disease, not a criminal justice issue nor a moral failing and that those still suffering or seeking recovery should be treated with compassion in a safe environment that promotes a sense of hope and well being.

It will be licensed by city/town and keyed by state /town.
The Overdose Warning Network was developed for First Responders including law enforcement, Hospital, Fire and EMS personnel and other individuals administering Naloxone in an opioid overdose event. It is also available for Android and iPhone.
