Deflection & Diversion
The Quick Response Team (QRT) at FAN is a proactive outreach program designed to provide compassionate and immediate support to individuals and families affected by substance use crises.
Our QRT operates under the deflection and diversion levels, aiming to engage those who have had recent interactions with first responders, such as EMS, fire, or law enforcement, due to substance use.
Deflection and Diversion
FAN connects individuals with substance use or co-occurring disorders to community-based treatment and support, providing an alternative to incarceration through collaboration with law enforcement, the prosecutor’s office, court system, and case managers.
This approach reduces legal system strain, decreases jail overcrowding, and supports better long-term outcomes.
Our coaches build supportive, trusting relationships, empowering each individual to create a personalized recovery plan. We provide emotional support, connect clients with community resources, and foster life skills development, aiming to remove barriers and inspire hope throughout the journey to lasting wellness.
- Improved relationships with family, friends, and the community
- Increased involvement in treatment and recovery services
- Heightened feelings of self-worth and empowerment
- Reduced rates of relapse
- Reduced involvement with the criminal justice system
