AUGUSTA - Many Mainers in rural parts of the state struggle to access treatment for substance use disorder. Rep. Holly Eaton, D-Deer Isle, has proposed legislation to create a working group to examine the issue closely.
"Access to the medication a person needs when they are in recovery from substance use disorder is critical," said Eaton. "It hurts our neighbors and our community if folks seek help but cannot actually access it."
Rep. Holly Eaton is serving her second term in the Maine House of Representatives, where she is a member of the Marine Resources Committee and the Transportation Committee. Born and raised in House District 15, she has deep roots in her community and a commitment to representing the voices of her coastal constituents.
