The Close to Home Campaign website features important information on opiate abuse and addiction, including a Fact Sheet for Teens and Parents and flyers that can be printed and posted in schools, organizations or workplaces. Additionally, you will find links to credible websites and additional information to help you learn more about the negative consequences of opiate abuse and how opiate addiction is affecting our state.

The Close to Home Campaign was created by the Acadia Hospital and its many campaign partners to help educate people about the dangers of opiate abuse. Maine is currently facing near epidemic rates of opiate-addicted individuals, especially among the ages of 18 to 25, and we need to work together to prevent the problem from getting worse. We believe education and access to help is crucial to the long-term health of Maine’s citizens.
