On Thursday, April 27th, Families Against Narcotics (FAN), a grassroots nonprofit organization based in Macomb County, will expand their programming to help more individuals and families in Michigan who have been affected by substance use disorder. In addition to launching a brand-new chapter that will cover Newaygo County, FAN will also be implementing their flagship Hope Not Handcuffs (HNH) program in police departments in the cities of Newaygo, White Cloud, Grant, and Fremont. The Center for Hope and Healing in White Cloud will also serve as a community partner for Hope Not Handcuffs.
FAN was founded in 2007 and is a community-based program for those seeking recovery from substance use disorder, those in recovery, family members affected by addiction, and community supporters. Their Hope Not Handcuffs initiative, launched in February of 2017, has compassionately connected more than 9,400 people statewide with the resources necessary to find recovery from addiction.
