Crack Cocaine Addiction in Maine
The Impact and Path to Recovery
The Crack Cocaine Epidemic in Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire
Crack cocaine, a highly addictive and potent form of cocaine, has devastated communities in Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, particularly in Portland, Lewiston, Augusta, and Auburn. Crack is smoked, delivering an intense but short-lived high that leads to rapid addiction and compulsive use.
