Face Addiction Now is a hands-on resource that helps close critical gaps in addressing substance use. We offer educational programming, distribute life-saving tools like Narcan, and provide connections to recovery services.
Our mission is to equip individuals, families, and professionals with practical strategies to address and reduce the impact of addiction—delivering real-world solutions that promote stability and long-term recovery.
This year’s Run Drugs Out of Town will take place at Macomb Community College, Center Campus on June 21, 2025. This event is more than a 5K run or walk—it’s a powerful way to support individuals and families impacted by substance use disorder. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier community. Gather your friends, family, and colleagues to form a team and join us in honoring and supporting those affected by addiction. Your participation makes a difference!
Walk-up registration kicks off at 8:30 am and the run will begin promptly at 10 am. We’re excited to have participants of all ages come together in support of this important cause.

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 treatment services as an alternative to incarceration, working in coordination with law enforcement, the prosecutor’s office, the court system, and case managers.
This approach helps reduce strain on the legal system, lowers jail populations, and contributes to more stable long-term results.
Our team builds strong, professional relationships with individuals, helping each person develop a structured recovery plan tailored to their goals.
