Sorg Interviewed for Story on Maine Drug Overdose Deaths

University of Maine associate professor Marcella Sorg, director of the Rural Drug and Alcohol Research Program at the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center, was interviewed for an article in the Village Soup’s Herald Gazette about a new report from the Centers for Disease Control on the three-fold increase in drug overdose deaths in the U.S. between 1999 and 2008. Sorg said methadone and oxycodone are the primary drugs causing fatal overdoses in Maine.
