Maine Inhalant Abuse Prevention Task Force

The Maine Office of Substance Abuse, in partnership with the New England Inhalant Abuse Prevention Coalition, formed a statewide task force in order to identify the nature of the inhalant problem in Maine and recommend model prevention practices designed to reduce inhalant use.

It brought together a broad group of professionals who encounter the inhalant abuse problem in a wide variety of ways. The group met six times to produce the facts and findings and recommendations described in the documents below. Maine Task Force members include representation from knowledgeable professionals with a passion for the issue of inhalant abuse.
