In 2019, the Opioid Response Clinical Advisory Committee (CAC) was established to provide expert clinical advice to inform the state’s Opioid Response Strategic Action Plan. The volunteer committee meets bi-monthly and is comprised of representatives from across Maine's health care community. It is co-chaired by Lisa Letourneau, M.D., MPH, and Alane O’Connor, DNP.
As part of its work, the Committee has addressed many aspects of opioid response and prepared several papers providing guidance to Maine’s clinicians. All of these papers are linked below. Clinicians interested in the work of the CAC should contact the Gordon Smith, Director of Opioid Response, by email at Gordon.Smith@maine.gov.
